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

Superb Features

I love the features Starling has to offering including the IOU and group saving feature. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Revolutionary new banking experience

Starling presents a whole new banking experience, very distinct from high street banking, and more contemporary than the online offerings from banks/building societies that still have their roots firmly in the old school high street banking ethos. The Starling app is a pleasure to use and makes managing your money, and even things like locking your card, super easy and convenient. Their branding is cool and contemporary too.
