Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

Simple or Complex - You Choose

5
It does exactly what I want it to do. Has remained simple to use in contrast to its major competitor (where I still have a rarely used account). Upgrade options are available but you aren’t pressured to take them. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Easy to use

Stirling provides a modern and ethical way to store money. It also makes saving much easier than a traditional bank due to the 'spaces' Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
