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

Excellent app, and very intuitive to use. Also like the ability to have multi currency accounts Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

A modern bank for modern living

5
A feature packed online bank, good analytics to see where your spending, good saving and money management options. Good security features for Apple pay etc. with verification for on line purchases. Very good when things go wrong as I found out when my mobile phone was stolen in Spain (Barcelona). Called Starling at 22:30 on my friend's phone, they were sympathetic and reassuring. They disabled my Apple pay and disassociated my account with the stolen device keeping my card active. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Best Customer Service ever

5
Having experienced a couple of the big High Street banks, Starling is a breath of fresh air. The ‘Treats’ allows me to save money without thinking about it. Customer service is off the scale so helpful with an excellent app which tells me any spending or monies paid into my account. What more could you ask for? Reviewed on: 6th April 2023

Safe
