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

Great service, easy to use platform!

Simply like-minded...

Since switching to Starling from Lloyds I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of updates and new features Starling are rolling out, not forget the simplicity of using them all. The app in general is brilliant, I especially love the new update in which you can pull the transactions up from the bottom of the screen, just looks really clean looking! Keep bringing out the new features and updates guys, you're already miles ahead compared to other banks, let's keep it going! Reviewed on: 23rd March 2021

Great Switch

Moved away from big banks, moved joint account over too. Won vs the other challengers due to features available. App lacks vs others in some areas but not enough to make me want to switch for a while. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2021
