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 bank ever

I switched from Triodos to Starling recently and I'm glad I did. So much user friendly, easy access to my account, I love the Spaces function and the marketplace, there's just so much that you can do with Starling. My favourite bit is the daily spending wheel, it makes it so much easier to keep an eye on your spending. Reviewed on: 25th March 2021
