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

Ethical and Environmentally conscious banking

Joined because of their ethical and environmental credentials, stayed as they have excellent customer service. Also, since they improved the interest rate I am now much happier with the interest rate on my current account. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

A good fossil-free bank

I've had several accounts with different UK and European banks and Starling has been my favourite so far. Love the app, very good for budgeting as it categorises your spending. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Starling are extremely efficient.

Starling are extremely efficient and the service to solve problems is instant. The fact the moment you pay using your card, it shows immediately on your phone. Easy to use abroad and I cannot find fault with Starling Bank. I wouldn't change my bank, I'm very happy with Starling, right from the start. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
