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

Amazing Immediate Up Dates

I really love my current account. It helps me budget by showing me my daily spend and how exactly I am spending my money. The speed of information sharing when I spend money or money is taken or added to my account is amazing. I love this account Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Foreign travel made Simple

Principally I am using Starling as a debit card system during my business and holiday trips. As the card is a MasterCard this means you can use it virtually anywhere in the world to make payments or draw local currency cash without having to pay a withdrawal fee. Also the MasterCard relevant exchange rate at the time of the transaction is used to calculate the currency exchange. NO FEES.... Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
