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

The app is really simple and intuitive to use, and it doesn't keep changing. I like the biometric fingerprint security, it's easy to use, it feels safe I don't feel like the bank doesn't believe who I am or doesn't want me to access my money Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I feel that my money is safe with Starlling, & like the security measures when it comes to payments etc. Also, when I've needed help or information by speaking with a staff member I've always had excellent service and been treated with utmost courtesy. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Really good way to track your money habits

Having a Starling account has been great. It’s allowed me to keep an eye out on how much I spend and has allowed me build up my savings through their different tools, such as the spaces in the app. The app is also simple to use. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Excellent bank

very easy to use my account, app is very easy to navigate and I have not had a single problem or error made since joining several years ago. Spaces make it easy to divide your money however you want to, and you can make payments straight from a designated Space, either by scheduled payments or with a virtual card. Best of all, it is a real bank. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Very effective and easy to use system
