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

Excellent for digital banking

I love starling and would recommend them for personal banking to anyone, as long as you don't require access to a physical branch. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Great for trips abroad

My wife and i used a Starling account for a tour of America. The card worked everywhere, queries and disputes were sorted immediately with a message or a call. exchange rates were good and no charge for ATM. Good app and able to view exchange rates and top up remotely. Excellent. I've also heard they've been good with busieness loans during covid. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Excellent for Money Management

Automatically having data on my monthly spend by category has made managing my spend to a budget so much easier and quicker. Recommended by my student daughter! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

It just works

I love being a Starling customer. They have highlighted the huge differences between modern digital banking and traditional banking. My banking is instant, never had any issues using the app, their communications are brilliant, everything is secure using the latest security technologies, I haven't come across any banking issues that have not had a solution found (e.g. depositing cheques, cash, lost card, etc.), customer support is quick, easy, helpful and knowledgable. Most beneficial to me I think is the accessibility. I don't have ridiculous hard copy paperwork to faff about with and I don't have to drive to visit a particular branch to achieve a relatively easy task. It just works! And they keep improving it! Well done guys! Big fan. I always recommend. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021
