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

Smart and easy-to-use app

The app has an excellent interface which is intuitive and very easy to use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Nice experience

I am happy with this bank and it's nice journey with this bank i will be customer for this life long Thanks Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

People first banking

Starling never fails to impress me. Having used traditional current accounts from the big banks and their apps, Starling stands out by miles due to the ease and speed with which tasks can be completed. The instantaneous nature of transactions and notifications seriously helps to keep on top of outgoings and being able to simply search for past transactions is a dream.

Your Bank

Excellent experience, fast efficient set up, user friendly app, excellent features. Haven't had to use customer service yet, but am sure it will be excellent. Having an immense dislike for banks and bad experiences, Starling is what a Bank should be, working for you, not themselves. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Hassle free banking

Easy to apply and set up. Very responsive customer service. Innovative solutions with particular mention to Marketplace and Pension Bee tie up. Would of been nice to have been offered a temporary overdraft during initial Covid_19 period but hey ho Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Absolutely amazing

I prefer online banking soo thought I’d try online only and I swear it’s the best decision I’ve made. It’s soo easy to do anything in app and using Apple Pay is a doddle I’m still trying to persuade my whole family to join in that impressed Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
