Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

I have had an account for a couple years and I have watched other banks fade away. When I joined Starling, I signed up through the application on my phone. It was very easy. I confirmed my identity online, with somethey help me via live chat. I can upload cheques to my account. When I am a little out of pocket, I find a few spare pennies that have been automatically saved for me with each purchase. Starling is progressive and targets the current age and that is wonderful. Older people seem to get left behind in the times. This encourages them to adapt and embrace them. It welcomes them into the new age. Reviewed on: 5th March 2021

best on line bank

nothing is to much trouble if you think you have a problem, always polite and very helpful and always asks if there is any thing else they can help you with. Just great. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Spot on banking

Really faultless bank experience from app to customer service Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Bank how it should be

For many years I have been with a very traditional bricks and mortar retail bank but became increasingly frustrated with how out of date and backward their mobile banking process and system felt. This was especially frustrating when due to the global pandemic, the mobile banking system was the only way I could carry out my day to day banking. In the end I decided to give Starling Bank a try and I haven’t looked back since. Put simply it’s modern day banking that just makes sense! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Excellent

A great bank, easy to use app and great customer services Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Multi issue of cards

Recently many current account holders received duplicate cards because of a problem with their service. They informed use of this after the fact and promptly informed us that our newly issued cards were being cancelled and could only be used with chip and pin. Again new cards were issued unfortunately I incurred extra costs on my subscriptions as they had increased in price during the time I had it. When Starling cancelled the cards my payments were due and because they cancelled it my subscriptions were cancelled for none payment. I informed Starling and their response to their mistake and me incurring extra costs was, "well your going to have to give your new numbers to your service's". They DO NOT CARE AT ALL that I've incurred an increase in subscription costs. NOT VERY HAPPY Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
