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

BEST BANK EVER!

Stumble across starling around 3 years ago. With my credit score it was pretty much the only bank to accept me but I'm glad they did. Now I've built my credit cack upto a very good score I'll l still be sticking with starling. Best bank around by far. Reviewed on: 11th February 2021

Easy to use

Such a great user friendly account thank you Anne Reviewed on: 11th February 2021

A really great bank

Starling is what I want a bank to be. It's safe and secure, yet for me it's simple and I can do what I want. I can see my spending, help save and have individual goals for saving. I can see my account and my joint account with the click of a button and sending and receiving money is simple. I can control my card locking and unlocking as I need. I can block some ways of using my card. Its just does what a bank should do and helps me manage my money with ease. The company seems pretty nice too Reviewed on: 11th February 2021

Best Bank in UK

Good service and secure your money Reviewed on: 11th February 2021

Ease of use combined with great service and security.

Starling Bank makes working through its app trouble free. The account was simple to set up, and all communications were clear and concise. In addition, the unique 'face print' video, in addition to 2 other security measures, is reassuring and gives one a feeling of security. Any queries are responded to promptly and respectfully. Full Marks, Starling Bank! Dr L.B. Reviewed on: 10th February 2021

Brilliant

Such an easy and transparent method of banking! Easy to set up and customer services are extremely helpful and quick! Reviewed on: 10th February 2021

Very good phone based service

Phone app not perfect but still quite easy to use for a 75yr old with reasonable IT/mobile App skills. May be will be easier as more use makes the less frequently used functions become familiar. Reviewed on: 10th February 2021
