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

Financial Hardship to Financial Freedom with Starling!

After some financial hardship, Starling was one of the few banks that would take me. Starling has an amazing app user experience and features that took the anxiety out of spending & saving. Their marketing is informative but not pushy leaving me informed and hooked and not annoyed by spam! As a result I will always recommend and stay loyal to starling. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
