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

Great banking

I've been banking with Starling bank since 2019 and from day one I have always been impressed with my current account with them. The customer service has always been so friendly an accommodating whenever I need them (which is very rare) and the app is easy to use and has a great layout. The Overdraft fees I have experienced have been low and manageable to keep track of (i.e. one small payment a month rather than daily charges). Setting up my account with them was a nice smooth process and I love the pots of money you can create for different occasions. I also love the 'share the load' calculator they have created to keep track of unpaid household work between people in my household. Reviewed on: 29th January 2024

Best current account I've ever used.

Best current account I've ever used. The app is infinitely better than that of the older legacy banks. It's like Starling is Apple in the banking world and the others are tech companies that never make the headlines. I like that Starling have given a generous interest rate for a current account and make it clear when this will be paid - unlike other banks. Also, if you want to contact Starling you will easily be able to get hold of a human, whereas other banks try desperately to prevent you from doing this and instead you have to deal with a bot which won't be able to answer any mildly complicated questions.
