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

Innovative, quick and great!

5
So far the customer service has been amazing, and quick through the app. Using the chat function means I can carry on doing what I am doing not waiting on hold. The app is easy to use with great features, I like the way every time I spend or have income it tells me and shows immediately. That way I know exactly where I am up to. Overall great experience.

Breath of fresh air

Starling is simply a breath of fresh air compared to other “well known” banks. Everything is so streamlined and straightforward. Opening my Sterling and Euro accounts was extremely easy. Plus, the app is well-designed. What more could you want from a bank? Starling is superb! Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021
