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

Exquisite!

Best current account provider! İt has so many features from instant notifications to a vivid and detailed transactions page for keeping track of everything. The app is really a key factor as you can see past, present or scheduled payments instantly and be the boss of your bank. There are so many features awaiting, open one in minutes!

The future of retail banking

Starling has been a dream to use, it has opened my eyes to how far behind the established banks are in terms of using technology to serve their clients and provide useful insight into spending and saving for specific goals. I certainly consider to eventually move all my banking to Starling. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
