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 by far

Absolutely love the ease of use of the app, the cards are cute and setting up my account was so easy. I recommend them to everyone :) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Love my new bank!

I switched to Staring Bank during the first lockdown in 2020 following a review of my finances and deciding that my bank at time were no longer fit for purpose. Starling’s customer service is second to none and it’s so impressive how you can talk to a human 24/7. The online app featuring card controls, saving spaces, round ups etc make this a fantastic app and bank for anyone who wants their bank and money to work for them. Well done Starling!

It does what it says on the tin

Easy to use, transfer money into or out of or even attached savings through spaces. This bank has given me what I've been missing from high Street banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helpful, simple bank

Starling have provided a quick user interface to make online/mobile banking as simple and as easy as possible. I love using them, and will continue to recommend to friends and family. Does exactly what it says on the tin, including spaces to save money for certain goals and sending money to colleagues through the quick and simple process on the app. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
