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

Simple, easy and straightforward

The title pretty sums it up - nothing seems difficult with Starling! The app is a really simple interface allowing you to move and monitor your money at the touch of the screen Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Flexible and most helpful banking app

There are several features that I particularly like and use with the Starling card: spaces, the second card to give to a child to pay for food at school, the spending breakdown, the instant messages when a transaction is made on the card (especially useful when card used abroad). One feature that could be added is paying in a cheque via the app. Good luck team Starling! Keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
