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

So easy to use

Best bank by far. Easy to use app. Can pay cheques in without a visit to physical bank. Awesome Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Best bank ever

I am so glad I made the (super easy) switch to Starling. I moved both my current and business accounts and I'm so glad I did. Everything about it is just so much easier - I can see everything in one place, the notifications tell me what's going on and I love the card designs. I've recommended to so many people, the best banking experience I've had. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
