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 is more efficient and helpful

Since joining Starling Bank due to the fact that NatWest closed in the Village where I live the service I now receive is so much better. In fact Service couldn't be better and as a result I couldn't be happier. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

I love that the app keeps a track of my spending, so I know how much I have spent under each different category each month, and that I can change the auto generated category, if I want to. I love that I can put money into a bills section and know my bill will be paid from there and I get a reminder so I can check there is sufficient funds to pay them. i also like that I can get a card for children and keep a track on their spending. I just love it and have recommended to family and friends. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Starling bank have exceeded my expectations.

Starling bank have exceeded my expectations. I feel my money is secure and the guidance and updates spot on. I had a problem a while back but starling customer services stayed on the line with me just to allow my device to go through a general update. brilliant!, I love the ease of use and clear information which is laid out logically and colour coded. Personally I really like the visuals which help and make it so pleasant to easy to use. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

By far and away the best bank card/app I've used. The graphs anmd budgeting and pots that you can create are immense. It makes someone who's not the best at math do this and do it easily. I really rate that aspect of the app and service. The use abroad has been world class as well. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024
