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 switched from Barclays Bank to Starling because I've found the latter particularly technologically-advanced enough to suit my needs. For example, the home page is very simple and streamlined, and the customer service just excellent in responding to you timely and solving your issues. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Easy to set up, easy to make a joint account and switch from our current joint account. The app is excellent. Love the way you can move between accounts so easily and ability to add attachments to payments is very useful. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
