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 to use and for everyday use, it’s perfect.

The online account is very flexible and provides simple to use means of doing so, over and above h’ high street’ banks. In addition, it is perfect for use abroad without extra fees and good exchange rates. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Superb Bank

From the moment I switched everything has been easy, I feel more in control of my money than ever before - Absolutely brilliant service Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

It's a real shame, genuinely.

It's a real shame, genuinely. They've gone from the best bank by far (in fact, the best customer service and experience I've ever had) to some of the worst. They've allowed fraud to happen on my account and they have taken two weeks to do anything about it and that only happened because I started ringing them every hour. It's been absolutely ridiculous, unbelievable and I am so disappointed. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
