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

A great bank

Quick and easy to set up an account. Easy to use / interact with. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

The switch was easy

Switching to Starling was easy and now everything is in one place in my Starling account viewing my upcoming payments, available cash and savings is a doddle. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Simple, convenient, no hassle banking

Immediately able to move money between savings and main account when unexpected bills occur - fantastically convenient. Immediate notification of expenditure on my phone, with audible alert - reassuring. Cannot fault the ease and convenience that Starling offer me through my current account. Top bank. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Instant information through the app

Just love how informative the app is. Sends a message with every expenditure. Advises impending dd payments. Were one of the first to be able to stop card on the app. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Innovative banking that's a first

Easy to use tech, producing clear graphics of my account. I know starling is keeping my money safe. Easy to contact I feel confident they can sort and solve my questions when required. I feel safe with starling. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
