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

Reliable.

Highly recommended banking,easy and straightforward to use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking for the here and now

Love having ‘spaces’ so you can have several different pots of money so you can budget or save. Forward thinking bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I don't feel I'm being ripped off.

Starling's rates for currency transfers are very, very reasonable and very simple when compared to the large banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Efficiency

By a mile, the most helpful, professional and efficient bank. A pleasure to be a client! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent

A great bank working in real time not like other banks. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to keep track

I find the Starling app so helpful - easy to keep track of where my money is going and helps me save without even noticing Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Makes other banks look like something out of Dickens

Got fed up with mainstream banks using quill pens & carrier pigeons. Only drawback appears to be photo recognition of cheques to pay in but you can't have everything. Have opened a Tide account too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Helpful, great service!

Customer service is always there to help when you need it with no delay Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A modern bank account fit for everyone

It was really easy to set up and all the security levels felt both secure and logical. Using the account is so much easier than previous accounts and I especially love the spaces facility that allows me complete control over my expenses. I haven’t found anything so far that I have not liked. A fabulous account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent on-line bankers

As a global traveller, Starling is the BEST bank for worldwide access with zero or minimum charge. The app integrates well with Apple Pay and moving money around from account to account is very easy. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
