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

Simple and Effective App. Excellent and efficient service

We love out Starling Accounts - something I'd never though I'd say about bank accounts! The app is easy to use and I had my first experience of customer service after over a year, due to my error. So quick to engage, get a response and a resolution. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Straightforward banking for these crazy times

I was initially concerned of moving to a bank with no presence on the high-street, but there was no need for me to worry. The app is excellent, providing me with pretty much all the banking facility I need. On the rare occasion that the app doesn't fulfill my needs, the call centre is easy to access and deals with my enquiry quickly and effectively. This is modern banking, for our modern and ever changing lives. I cannot recommend highly enough! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

When the chips were down

My old bank Monese, without warning closed my account and nearly 3 months on still haven't transferred my funds into my new Starling account. When the chips were down, starling were there with their easy uncomplicated new customer application. A simple to navigate application. So very user friendly, I should have joined Starling a long time ago. I will most definitely be recommending them to everyone. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy to set up, to contact them and work with their app. So simple and secure to use and you can now see the major banks following behind.

I set this account up a year ago and able to see everything you need to keep in control, at long last a bank that actually works with you, understanding it’s your money. The support is great Thank you Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
