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

The app is near flawless - it just works. And they're constantly adding features. Love Spaces, how payees have pictures, and all the nice touches like being able to control your overdraft instantly. Banking is made a breeze with Starling and it just makes life easier. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Hassle Free Banking

I've been using Starling for just over a year as my bill paying account. The app is brilliant... simple to use with my useful tools. Might consider moving all my banking to Starling in the future. My wife loves the Saving Space. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
