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

Am award winning online bank

I have had a few problems with my bank regarding my account, but it’s the same story with other banks, I like the fact that it’s a an online bank, & although it doesn’t have a high street bank, you can always use your local post office. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024

Foreign transactions, Kite cards and app. All great!

Love the low cost transactions abroad. Compatibility with multiple brands of smart watches is great, particularly compared to old school banks and credit cards. App is simple and love the kids Kite cards that allow my kids to get into understanding money and payments without the stress or concern of a separate account - and they can view that by themselves too.

The Starling app is excellent - really easy to use and handy to get instant notifications. I love the fact you’re not charged fees when using it abroad. The customer service is second to none - replies are often instant - when does that ever happen! I feel safe with them. Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

I switched to Starling from European based bank

I closed my European based account to transfer to Starling after trying them for few years when I moved to the UK. I was so pleased by them, that it was what made me chose to do this. I have no regret and every time I'm travelling to Europe I use Starling since. Reviewed on: 11th March 2024

Easy to use

Never had a problem using the app or paying with this account. Very smooth and cleanly designed. No lag which is a bug bear with other banking apps. Reviewed on: 7th March 2024
