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

Best banking app

The app is easy to use - it notifies by push any transactions and gives you a heads up for any upcoming payments. I love the saving spaces which allows me to save easily without opening multiple accounts. Overall starling is a great bank. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

So easy you expect something to go wrong

I’ve had a starling account for some time and to have full control of my card, account and even transfers from my high street bank are easy, I would definitely recommend it to anybody. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Quick, efficient account opening

Very easy to set up an account, very efficient and they're showing the big banks how it's done. The offering isn't everything under the sun, but what they do, they do very well. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Faultless! *****

Best move I ever made was moving account to Starling! Easy to use app, instant update of each spend or direct debit! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

The ONLY Bank.

Up to date, security conscious, round the clock customer service, and for me, they make banking fun. I used to work for B bank, we were useless compared with Starling. 4 of my friends and 2 of my family are now customers, with more to come when I’m able to see everyone. Fantastic Bank. P. Evans. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Simple and safe

It’s so satisfying to get instant banking results, whilst remaining safe and secure. The help sections are both thorough and in plain English. This is banking at its best. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
