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

Good account, easy to use.

Good account, easy to use. My only gripe is that the cheque limit on the app is £1000 Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

I moved to Starling from one of the main banks

I moved to Starling from one of the main banks and immediately noticed how innovative their banking app was. Everything is so easy. The rare occasions I've needed to speak to someone, I could do it from the App, with a human answering quickly - remarkable! Oh, fantastic value as well. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Starling is a rare glimmer of hope

Starling is a rare glimmer of hope - no nonsense fees, hidden charges, small print limits. A free bank that allows for unlimited foreign cash withdrawals and fee free transactions. No bs. Have and will continue to recommend. F*ck Monzo and their fees. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
