Starling Bank Current account reviews (27464)

Incredible Banking value delivered through a simple, fast online process.

I have now entered the world of semi-retirement and after 52 years of Midland/HSBC service decided to close my accounts with them. They supported me through Marriage, Children, Grandchildren, starting, and after 30 years, winding down our business last year. We have no complaints at all about their service. But with much fewer financial transaction my engagement with Full Service High Street based International business seemed an unnecessary cost. After a continuous flow of ‘recommendations’ from the family I leapt into Starling Banks Cyberspace. It has been a revelation. For the first time ever, I have successfully downloaded and then instantly achieved full functionality of an App….without help from the Grandchildren!! I would recommend it unreservedly to any Silver Surfers teetering on the edge banking change. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
