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

Personal banking as it should be

Personal banking as it should be: clear, well thought-out app, with excellent features such as 'nearby payments' and 'request money'. 'Spaces' is such a great idea for planning and managing savings for specific purchases and also for savings. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Very good app

Very good app makes doing everything very simple and intuitive. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

account switching service and and pots - brilliant

I used the account switching service and it was a completely stress free experience. Since joining starling I have been able to save for specific things with ease using the pots you can create within my account. I would never have expected to save and continue to save for amount of money I have so far. I would recommend starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
