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

Easy to use app that let's me do what I need with my money. Love the spaces that I can use to help my teenager learn, save and manage money. Great advantages when using my card abroad. Excellent all round. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Everything is so easy and convenient

Setting up a current account as a new customer was easy, using the app is so easy, finding all the functions is so easy and the bit I like the most is the saving spaces. I no longer need to record each part of my savings account or have multiple accounts. Very smart and easy!!! I also like the security...like when I get notified of all payments and when I need to authorise payments. So much better use of technology than mainstream banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great service, easy to use app.

I have been using this bank account for a number of years now. I think that the app is very easy to use and provides the information you need readily. I particularly appreciate the way that you are informed immediately a payment is made into or out of the account and for payments going out by DD you get a couple of days notice that it will be taken soon. Unfortunately this year I have been unable to make use of the great exchange rates on overseas use of the card, but hopefully this will change soon! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
