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

Brilliant Bank!

I have nothing but praise for this bank. I know my financial situation at all times. Its so easy to use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy to use!

Fantastic bank - I’ve been with them a few years now. The app is straightforward to use, there’s no hassle with branches or phone calls and you have what feels like much greater control over your money than with other banks. The transactions go through incredibly quickly too, which is always useful. They even offer euro accounts with very cheap transfer rates (the best I’ve seen). Overall, excellent, and I’ll be switching my current account to them permanently in the next year or so. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy to use

I set this up for using when overseas as you do not get hit by unknown exchange rates and fees but I have come to love the app and the bank for being super easy to use and you can scan checks which has been used during the lockdowns. I have already recommended them to my friends and family so you should consider them as well :) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Efficiency

Very easy to use app that makes banking very efficient and easy to track my money. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Amazing!

What can I say, as a new customer of Starling Bank I am so impressed as to how easy and simple using the online app is. Everything you need is there and you get confirmation when a payment comes in or goes out helping you manage your money better. Should have had an account with them long before now.
