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

Unique & user friendly

I love this bank, from the spaces which encourages saving in an easy and flexible way to the split transactions meaning me and husband share bills easily. I recommend it it everyone! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking made easy

From onboarding to everyday use it has been a pleasure to switch to Starling from first Direct. Day to day management within the app with the ability to keep money easy to access but also put away into saving spaces. Paying online feels more secure with the authorisation done through the app. Cant thing of anything negative in my experience so far! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simply brilliant

Everything is so much easier with the Starling app and I love having real time information on any transactions. I feel my money is secure and I’m much less vulnerable to bank fraud. The round-up savings option is great. The rare times I’ve contacted customer services my query has been dealt with quickly and efficiently. I just love my bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
