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

Tip top!

So refreshing after the staid high street banks. Everything just works with no fuss. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Really innovative

The whole online experience is really great. Easy to use and good information on spending etc. However the reason for my top rating is the introduction of the shopping card, which has been such a blessing for me this past year. I live in Surrey. My 89 year old father lives in Lancashire. He is housebound, so cannot get to the bank. He has needed help with his shopping during lockdown but had no access to cash and didn't want to give his bank card and PIN to the home help. His High St bank had no solution and even less interest in the issue. The ability to arrange a separate shopping card on my Starling account for his home help to be able to use in shops up to the limit I set (but not online or in ATMs) solved all our problems. Than you Starling Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Saves a fortune abroad

When I eventually get back to travelling, I will save money every time I make an ATM withdrawal abroad. The best rate, and no additional charges for using the card abroad. This card is brilliant, I NEVER go abroad without it. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

A very current account!

As soon as I buy something my app lets me know Starling is on the case Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Convenient app based banking

Really easy to use app makes it easy to keep track of all spending including advance notice of direct debit payments Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
