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 banking!

Sounds crazy that banking with no banks is easy but it really is with starling! No fees for having the account which works so wonderfully for you isn’t a perk it’s standard for Starling. Easy to use app whether it’s everyday banking, saving or being more adventurous with ISAd its 5 star Starling Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Handy, easy, app based banking

From the start the application process was the quick and easy. Requesting money from friends and family is easy with a limo where they can use their debit card to pay you back. Overseas/euro transactions are fee free with a great exchange rate. Basically can't go wrong! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Very convenient and good value

I like that when I spend money I get a text message telling me how much and where. This current account pays interest! It auto-tags transactions. The interface is well laid out and easy to use. Very happy with this account. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
