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 bank

Everything is so easy. Options to create saving areas for different things, option to round up your spending. Easy to do everything online. Great customer service Reviewed on: 3rd August 2023

Glad I switched

Having been with one of the larger banks for a very long time I came across Starling and decided to move to them. One of the major reasons was their foreign exchange policy. Having children living abroad, when it comes to visiting there’s no worry about that ‘commission’ that some other banks like to charge. Also, even though online they are easy to contact, plus with many high street banks closing, like the one I was with, accessibility is key. I’m glad I switched. Reviewed on: 28th July 2023

Prodigal returns

I was with Starling for quite a while, and then went over to the "dark side" and moved to NatWest and claimed my reward money. I stayed with them for a few months, but had to go back to Starling. Their app is so intuitive, I find it so easy to use. I love the fact that you're able to see when money is coming in and out of the account for the following day or after the weekend. Very easy to deposit cheques (take a picture). Card excellent for overseas spending and cash withdraws (check Money Saving Expert website) Very happy that I returned; I cannot see my self leaving again Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Brilliant

Fantastic bank, perfect for travel and customer service is very quick and effective- a rarity these days! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Faultless account

Honestly, everything about my Starling Current Account is just right, the interface is spot on, simple, effective and informative. Notifications are immediate, spending abroad basically costs nothing, it's a fully fledged bank, accepted by all, digital payments are available, it has the works, and it costs me nothing, all accounts should be like this. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Banking made easy

A fantastic and easy to use app, innovative ways to share cost and organise saving. Really easy to set up and have a joint account. The support team are amazing too and take on board new ideas, we saw a suggestion we made come in an update 3 months later. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Excellent application and listen to your feedback

I have recently joined Staring, they are a modern banking facility who offer innovative, easy to use tools. Their support team are available and responsive - such a change from other organisations. I love the fact they have a suggestions option to help them continue to innovate and meet customers needs. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023
