21st century banking, who knew?

5
I needed a current account and was advised to have a look at Starling. The application process was so simple and completely painless. No jargon, no complicated forms and quick to be approved. Using the app is great, very intuitive and everything I need is directly to hand, immediately. This is true 21st century banking, I don't have the time or the inclination to queue at a typical high street branch so this is perfect for me. This is where the so called large banks should be aspiring to get to. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
