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

Saving money is easy with money pots.....

I really enjoy the money pots keeping money saved is really easy. I like the pie chart telling you exactly what you spend your money on. It makes seeing what is being spent when and where easy. Being online means it is fast at setting up and there is no paperwork, making it easy to fill in forms using the phone or computer. Customer service is also done through chat on the phone or computer so you don't have to speak to anyone if you suffer from anixety like me, this is great as I have problems speaking on phones.

Everything at your fingertips

Easy to use App, great idea for saving spaces & money management. Customer service was excellent when unauthorised payment was taken Having everything at your fingertips makes keeping a track of my money easy Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

The easiest bank to use - and its safe!

Starling allows me to see what payments are going out of my bank in advance - and also payments coming in in advance. Also the instant notification of card use makes me feel safer as I had changed to Starling on a recommendation after my previous bank had allowed several fraudulent transactions to go through over several months. Also so easy to use the app. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
