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

Starling ain't that helpful....

Had an issue whereby the let a retailer take from monies from my account twice, when I only authorised it once. According to Starling, that's perfectly fine. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Brilliant on line App.

App is great..easy to.navigate and so user friendly. Gives a really good breakdown of what your spending and where. / what your spending on. Also get interest on your money paid to your account monthly. What's not to like over the years I've banked with most high St banks and been less than satisfied. Starling is like a breath of fresh air ! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
