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

An excellent way of Banking

A little over a month ago, I was frustrated because I was unable to open Lloyds account and I started wondering what I could do. I had heard of Starling Bank before, but I didn't believe it was trustworthy enough, but I gave it a go. Firstly, to register it was pretty simple, I received my card no more than 10 days. When my card was misplaced and someone tried using it, it was blocked instantly and replaced speedily, I didn't incur any losses of money. Thank you to all the team. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
