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 was a Lloyds Bank user for 18 years. Made the switch and couldn’t be happier. Most of my family have switched also, one to go when she’s 16. Reviewed on: 19th January 2021

Starling offered me a much greater insight to my spending and income than other high street banks. They also had the best and easiest support by a huge margin with quick responses and seamless resolutions. I wouldn’t be with any other bank now! Reviewed on: 19th January 2021
