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

So much better than the competition

I've been a customer for three months now and I couldn't be happier. Everything just "works", and I'm managing my spending and saving better than ever thanks to their tools and ease of layout. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Amazing New Challenger

Considering the grip the big traditional have on the banking market its nice to have a bank that is different that actually listens to its customers and provide a service that is modern an up to date. Real Time transaction date aswell as instant currency conversion let's me know instantly when things have been paid for and give peace of mind. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
