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

One example of exemplary customer service

An example, I had to contact you because I thought a fraudulent transaction had gone through my account. Your helpful customer service agent was extremely polite, knowledgeable and friendly in explaining what could have happened, what I needed to do next and if this didn't work then to get in touch again. Suffice it to say, the problem was resolved with minimal fuss tand inconvenience to myself. It's reassuring that you can talk to a person who knows how to interact with customers and resolve problems with minimum fuss. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Speedy control of spending

Great. Excellent 24 hour service. Easy to speak to a real person for advice. Easy to organise spending and saving for major bills, holidays etc. You can see clearly when you are waisting too much money on eating out, coffee shops etc. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
