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

I moved from Barclays Bank last year and mesh I had done it sooner. Better customer service and no extra fee's!! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Starling has an excellent app

Starling has an excellent app that has rock solid reliability and with useful insights such as spending reports and controls such as being able to freeze the card. It was easy to open an account and I’ve never needed to be able to pay into a branch so haven’t missed the bricks and mortar aspect of banking that high street banks provide. My payments are all made on time and I receive useful real-time notifications such as card payments and direct debit payments. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
