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

Starling Bank - forging the path for internet banking !

I started my banking at university with a small, friendly bank that got bought-out by one of the "high street" brands. After 50years of being a loyal customer they decided to withdraw my banking arrangements with just 6weeks notice. So I took the plunge to move my accounts to an internet bank. I did some research and chose Starling, and having made the move I couldn't be happier! Starling has a good smartphone App and also supports web (browser) access. The App provides access to all normal banking facilities and also a very responsive Chat facility that is able to help with any issues or challenging transactions (eg. large amounts or time-sensitive payments). My Starling debit card is linked to ApplePay so I can use my smartphone for payments when I am out and about. I have enjoyed a good experience with Starling and am happy to make this testimonial.

Innovative and smart with a human-friendly app.

Innovative and smart with a human-friendly app. Their 'spaces' (sub-accounts within your credit account) and easily-administered virtual debit cards get 9/10 from me. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Its the best user interface that I have had in a bank.

Its the best user interface that I have had in a bank. Easy, clear and yet enjoyable. I appreciate they don't push me to buy new products or products from other brands. The customer service is always quick and effective. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
