Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

Very easy to manage

I struggled with my money for years. From spending to saving I just couldn't seem to manage it. But this bank has been a lifeline. It is so easy to monitor what I spend and what I spend it on so I can make monthly adjustments to try and save more. I love the spaces part. It is so easy to transfer money to these spaces and to withdraw if needed. This bank isn't constantly harassing me to take out an overdraft so they can start charging. Reviewed on: 24th January 2021
