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

Starling has been game changing for me.

Starling has been game changing for me. Moving my everyday banking from HSBC where everything was clunky and slow to Starling that streamlined everything HSBC did and more. Their saving spaces have been great, allowing me to properly take control of my budgeting, including their virtual cards which they don't hide behind a pay wall like Monzo does. I also got my family to sign up for when they spend money abroad because they're reliable and don't charge a fee for transactions on top of mastercard's fee. There are always things that could be improved: I'd like to be able to track my net earnings every month rather than just my spend, I'd like more customisation of spending categories and I'd also like to see more options for fixed savers; however, these are minor inconveniences compared to the benefits I've reaped from being with Starling. Couldn't rate them highly enough. Reviewed on: 14th February 2024
