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

I wanted to try an online bank that was designed specifically to be just that..

I got fed up with the main stream banks closing their branches and making me travel further to get advice or decisions. Being in my 70's I tend to stay loyal to companies but they pushed me too far. I researched online banks and found that Starling Bank kept coming up and decided to use the Bank Switching service and although I was apprehensive it really worked well. I have now been with Starling for about 2 yrs and so glad I made the right decision. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

So easy

This account is so easy to use, the app very easy to navigate has separate part called spaces where you can save and it's so easy to see at a glance your balance and transactions Reviewed on: 5th April 2023

Simple to use, ethical bank with great features

Wish I'd changed to this bank from my old high street bank years ago! Love the 'spaces' feature that allows me to set money aside in different 'pots' and even pay bills from those spaces. Full, detailed and customisable breakdown of my spending. No foreign exchange fees. Been with Starling for around 5 years now, and no problems at all. Great to know that my money is not invested in harmful organisations. Great app that is continually improved for a good customer experience. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023
