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

First bank account, intend to stick

First bank. Mobile and web app provide a great overview on the state of the money in the account and the app has great tools for managing money. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

How Banking Should Be

Simple, intuitive. Banking that just makes sense Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Refreshing service

This bank actually does care about and tries to help it’s customers. Particularly love the “spaces” for when you want to put money by for or save for different items. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

So simple it works!

Super easy to set up & use. The app is flawless & it’s so easy to see what and where you have spent. Transferring money to other users of Starling as well as other banks works better than any other bank I have used previously. Can’t fault these guys. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Smooth and hassle-free

Have been using Starling for almost two years as my main account and it is great. I really like the fast and clear communication of when payments are made, and the general transparency on all of the fees (or lack of). Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Bringing banking into the modern day age!
