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

Secure, amazing customer support and features

It is very secure and yet easy to use, the team are always available to answer questions and it is super easy to contact them. When I use my Apple Pay I get notifications immediately, sometimes even before the shop completes the payment that I have paid for something. Lastly, I love that the exchange rate when paying for things online in different currencies is one of the best you can get. Just a great bank and app. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Excellent overall

Flawless accessibility on the app, good interest rates, and when I have had a problem, the customer service has been exceptional. I feel very secure with Starling and would not hesitate to recommend. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Glad I switched

I had enough of being treated poorly by another larger bank. I needed a current account quickly but have been blown away by every part of their service from their app to how they treat their customers. I’m so glad I made the switch Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

My early years of starling

Joined Starling a few years ago and haven’t looked back since. I love the in app features like spaces, that help me manage my money more efficiently. I do like all the security features, just giving me that peace of mind. I would love to get a credit card with starling that incorporates with my main account, so I can see what I’m spending my money on and make it easier to manage all within starling.
