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

Fantastic!

Starling Bank is a fantastic banking app, no complaints from me! Much prefer it to TSB's offering. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Absolutely Love Starling Bank!

By far the best bank I've been with. Opening the account was so simple and completed within 2hrs (from the comfort of my sofa). Products and features are relevant and have detailed descriptions. Starling have a bunch of YouTube videos to help with using the account and to update customers on new features or upcoming features. Spaces are great for saving money, only negative is that you can't pay directly out of savings pots. All in all, I stopped using my High St banks and soley use Starling. Love it so much, both my parents opened an account the day after I opened mine. Finally banking is being done the right way, big thank you to Anne and her team! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

It just works, every single time

Use on an almost daily basis. Clear and easy to use. Breaks down spend to track where my money goes Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Top service all round

Best jam jar account, easy to apply, easy to switch, easy to use app and best of all no branches. Even considered those who were shielding during the pandemic by adapting services quickly and efficiently. Never looked back after spending a lifetime with Abbey National who became Santander which resulted in horrid service and many tears over the years. Comparable with Belgian bank N26 who no longer operate in the UK unfortunately Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Easy banking, simply app, love it!

Maved over from HSBC nearly 18 months ago and haven't looked back! Love the 'spaces', round up savings pot and easy request payment feature. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Stress free, honest banking

All great: easy to use, efficient, even for a Luddite like me! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Glad I swapped banks

Excellent bank, I can’t understand why our traditional high street banks are trailing so far behind with their banking methods. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
