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

Great Bank

Great service, modern convenience and minimal fees Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Fantastic Bank, now my primary account

I've been with Starling for 3 years and now my partner has joined me. We both have current accounts and are about to set up a joint account, all with Starling. We are very happy with their service and the novel way their app works. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

A fantastic bank

No fuss. They do what they say on their literature. Always pleasant if you have a query and customer service is in the UK Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Good so far

I like the features and the attitude towards customers is warming and promising of a good bank. I just wish their app followed better design standards and had biometric support for my device. I really think some other banking apps get this right and cover the ever do important security side of things. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Best Bank Ever

I’ve only been with Starling for about six months but I have to say I’m really impressed. I can honestly say it’s the best bank I’ve ever used Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
