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

Easy as ABC

Finding a bank like Starling was by far the smartest thing for me. Access when and where I need it. No quibble about where to find your money with a straight forward ‘at a glance’ view. Reviewed on: 1st March 2021

Simple and hassle free

Easy to switch app is awesome Customer service is very good Reviewed on: 28th February 2021

How banking should be

The Starling app is intuitive and glitch free, and customer service is excellent. The Spaces function has revolutionised how my family manages its money, making it easy to budget for planned expenditure and reducing our dependence on debt. Reviewed on: 28th February 2021

No nonsense banking

I've had no problems with Starling, their marketing reflects the product and they don't get in your way, or try and dazzle you with bells and whistles that you don't need. The app is functional and comes with some neat security features like if you make an online payment via debit card, the app will prompt you to confirm the details. Gives a nice peace of mind. One thing I appreciate about Starling is they don't constantly try and upsell you to any premium product, which I find intensely annoying from one of their competitors who nag you to pay them £15 a month for a silly metal card. Overall no complaints. Reviewed on: 27th February 2021
