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

The bank suits my purpose.

Being digital allows me to be my own bank manager and keep in control of my finances without any guesswork. Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Efficient, simple, modern, friendly and safe

Joined Starling 6 months ago and it has changed my banking experience to a really positive one Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Peace of mind

Starling just makes it easy for me to manage my money. The app works well, I'm confident in their security. I was worried about moving to an online only bank, but now I'd never go back. Plus the withdrawal abroad fees are excellent. Big fan. Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Starling Bank is Awesome

I switched my 30yr high street bank for starling about 2 yrs ago now and have found it an excellent decision and i am happier than ever with my account ... pre covid 19 i travelled europe 3-4 times a year so the european banking transaction and money withdrawal costs (zero by the way ) was the biggest draw for me and the app is just so easy to use . Great Job Guys Keep It up Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

New Account Holder
