Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

I initially signed up for starling when I was due to go abroad, knowing I could use the card, fee free in Europe. It was such an easy setup and moving money between my current First Direct account into starling was so simple and funds were immediately available. The rest of my family now have starling accounts and do do many of my friends. It’s just so easy! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
