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

Simple but genius options!

I love all the options available in my Starling account. I particularly love Spaces. The ability to cordon off money for different reason/projects/savings without having to have separate accounts is brilliant. So useful. Thanks Starling for thinking about the way the everyday person deals with their money! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Efficient uncomplicated and very, very neat

The simplicity of the account is refreshing, the use abroad is incredible the exchange rates are exceptional no need to take CASH. As a more mature person I found it easy to adapt to online banking this way and I will be migrating more business in the new year, now that I am happy with my test drive.

The account was really easy to set up and gives me total control over my spending. I can see where my money has gone (by category) and put money aside into pots for specific events, holidays, tax, etc. For the first time ever I actually enjoy managing my money. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
