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

Unless you want a local branch, this is the bank for you. I chose Starling after my local NWest closed down. Having said that I hadn't been in it for 18 months, so the time was right. I am vety happy with my choice and 3 friends have also moved to Starling following my advice and they are equally as happy. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
