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

Excellent

Trouble free, helpful when contacted. Transactions in real time. Cheques paid in automatically. What’s not to like? Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Just so wonderfully easy to use

Account sign up is so frictionless for my wife and I and to set up a joint account took 2 mins. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Great app, great account

Great app, great account. The app is really easy to use, the account was easy to set up and I really love the saving spaces Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Modern Banking for the Modern Day

This is where banking should be going. It makes going cashless so much easier and more secure. Would definitely recommend! Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021

Would recommend to anyone that's looking for an easy and simple bank.

This is the best bank there is I have accounts with multiple banks but starling takes the cake. Everytime I have had any problems the staff would resolve it within the same hour of day. I have never waited longer than 3 days for a problem to be resolved big or small. I have been with then since 2019 and it was the best decision I have made. You have full control of your money at all time at country. If you like travelling then you're in luck because starling does not charge any fees while you're travelling. Reviewed on: 22nd March 2021
