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 bloomin' LOVE Starling.

I LOVE the Starling app. Transaction notifications appear lightning-fast, so I'm always 100% sure of my available balance. The Spaces feature is a god-send. The ability to add a note and/or an image to a transaction - so you can remember what on earth it was for - is fantastic. Being able to send a WhatsApp link to a friend to split a bill - brilliant. I have opened over half a dozen other current accounts in the last year, taking advantage of switch offers and NONE of them have come close to the features and user-friendliness of Starling. I can't imagine how other people cope with the slow, dated, clunky online banking experience provided by Other Banks. Starling is light-years ahead. I love them and I will never leave.

Accessible and Easy To Use

I found the Starling Bank Account app really easy to use. Never had an issue with the app jot working. Information is clear and accessible. The saving spaces cN help you save but also move money Round for bills etc. Would really recommend it. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Excellent bank that provides a raft of features. Includes good rate of interest on account balance, savings boards and accounts. Easy to speak to customer services. Limit on daily international transfers a bit of a pain. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Customer service is outstanding.

Customer service is outstanding. I have rarely ever had to wait longer than a minute or two before my call or in-app message is answered. Updates and enhancements to the app are rolled out regularly and I have not experienced any bugs. It is slick and just works. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
