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

It just works!

Everything about banking with Starling is just easy - opening an account was done in minutes all through the app, which is fully featured and easy to use. They’ve now launched desktop banking too, so I can access my account on all my devices Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A STARLING review for you! ;)

Love this app - has made my life so much easier, from avoiding ATM fees whilst backpacking to the excellent customer service team quickly resolving various fraud / refund issues to useful little budgeting tools (I'm a Supporter Worker and have recommended this app to clients who help with their budgeting!) Very user-friendly without compromising on security. 5 *! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
