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

Best banking app - no contest

The spaces, the virtual cards, the joint account integration, the direct debit from spaces. Starling's banking app is jam packed with features that put the apps of the biggest UK banks to shame. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

I can’t fault Starling bank.

I can’t fault Starling bank, every issue has been quickly resolved by customer service, including fraud. I have never experienced any issues with getting in touch with customer service and feel fully supported. This is my first experience of an online only bank and do not feel I miss out on anything due to the fact they don’t have face to face branches. I am very happy. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
