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

One very happy customer!

I needed to find a new bank last february for personal reasons, and first tried to set one up with first direct (based on recommendation from a friend) who took forever to come back to me, and i never received the pack, so gave up. I therefore looked myself and happened upon starling, and all seemed good so I set up an account straightaway with immense ease. This has been one of the best financial decisions i have made, and now do ALL of my banking with them. I have been so impressed with the functionality of the app, and the online environment, i have also got my mother on Starling; it has revolutionised banking for us and we would not go back! I rave to my family and friends about the brilliance of the saving spaces and the helping out card, both such a simple concepts but just genius! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Bank of the Decade

Love Starling love being able to budget with Spaces and use a space to auto pay for food on my phone and auto pay for fun on my watch. It’s the best and the team are pretty great too. Also love the abroad facilities and how my interactions with the team went when difficulty arose abroad. Best Bank by miles tell everyone about it. Cheers Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Great for tracking daily spend, also when travelling abroad and sharing costs with others. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

A great app and much better than the traditional banks

The app is so easy to use with very clear information about your bills, spending, etc, and the customer service has been fantastic whenever I have had to use it. There's some great add-ons as well, and the use of savings pots has been useful as well Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Stress free banking

Very simple online banking. No stress, very easy and quick to use and never had any problems. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Really easy and accessible to my needs

I really love that I can split my money into different spaces. It helps with my budgeting and ability to save for future purchases I know are coming. I've never felt the need to speak to an actual person as the product works so well for things like paying cheques and day to day purchases Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
