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

Great service from an online bank

5
I opened an account with Starling bank about 6 months ago and think they offer a great and efficient service. When you buy something from a shop, most of the time(depending on location) you have a message from them saying how much you have spent and where you spent it before the till receipt has printed out.

Really enjoy using Starling as my daily account. Switched from a big name branch in favour of something easier to use. Have found the notifications and money management aspect of the app indispensable! Reviewed on: 28th February 2020
