Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

The bank of the times

5
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

Absolutely faultless! Everything you need at your fingertips and just works!!! In 3 -4 years I didn't have to make one call, no niggle, no issues, HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED !!!! Some companies don't accept it as credible bank for credit, etc. I don't know why???? I was forced to get this account due to my bad credit, but I would never get back to a "conventional bank", Starling JUST WORKS!!!! Reviewed on: 6th April 2023
