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

Everything you need from a bank

A fresh look on banking, from a business that understands the needs of its customers. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Super easy access

We have found really easy to use as well as great security Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great App

Had no problems with Starling, and the app makes things much easier to do than it ever was with previous banks. Would definitely recommend. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The banking sector needs Starling to show them how to do it properly!

I am sure there are good reasons for a visible high street presence, let's use the Post Office network for this. Everything else I want to do with my money can be done using Starling and my phone. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank ever

simple and quick for everything. Thanks! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Moving to Starling was the best banking decision I ever made

Having banked with HSBC, Natwest and Monzo I can say that moving to Starling was a breath of fresh air. They have a user friendly app and everything is so simple. I thoroughly recommend them to others looking to modernise their banking. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Perfect for a modern lifestyle

Can do everything easily through the app. Allows you to use your phone as a bank. Can pay in cheques, set up payments to friends, have individual saving spaces (without having to open different accounts) and you don’t get stung with foreign transaction fees on holiday. 5 stars for Starling! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simplicity

Simple to use, everything you need in one place. No problems with the app, brilliant. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy Switch, Easy Use

Easy Switching process. Fast delivery of new cards. Like the saving spaces and linked accounts. Hassle free. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Spot on.

I have been banking with Starling now for a few years. Every aspect of their service is seamless from transacting with them to using their smooth app. Very clear and concise showing me where my money is going. Helping me save in the process. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
