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 and easiest bank to deal with

Great app, simple interface, good product range, responsive support team and push notifications really help keep an eye out for incorrect transactions. I really hope they continue to innovate in this space as they have so far, very happy customer. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Well thought through customer service and interaction

Very convenient and easy to use. Setup time is very fast and easy to do stripping away the need to go through paperwork or visit a branch. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

A bit late to the Starling party...

I'm a new customer since Nov 2020 after a very long time with a high street bank - I'm delighted with Starling... the app interface and customer ux are excellent - well designed, easy to use and difficult to go wrong. Haven't had to use any customer support as yet - the fact that it hasn't been needed tells a tale, I think. I'm so pleased to have seen the recommendation for Starling that I did, and that I followed up on it. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Pleased

Glad to finally be a part of the family Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Great bank with one thing missing

Customer service - check Easy to use Ui - check Missing the ability to pay bills from pots....only thing that makes me miss Monzo as someone who gets paid weekly it helps. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Seriously impressed

I’ve only ever banked with high street banks before but have been blown away by my experience since switching to Starling. Amazing tech, so user friendly, and with a female founder and CEO as a bonus. Can’t rate Starling highly enough. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

You just know where you are

I’ve been with starling from the beginning more or less What I love best about it is that you know just where you are with your money what you have and where it goes it’s makes money managing easy thank you starling Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Best move I made!

Decided to move over from Monzo, which I was not really getting on with in terms of the app and what I was able to do. Starling Bank offer so much more in their basic current account and a few weeks in an very happy! Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Game-changing

I can’t rate Starling highly enough! The set up was easy and the app is amazing to use. I absolutely love the saving spaces function. I’ve never been a good saver, but having individual pots with goals and pictures make it far easier to visualise what I’m saving for. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Only been a customer a few months, so far so good , no complaints Reviewed on: 24th March 2021
