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

Best for spending abroad

When abroad it tells you how much you spent in pounds not euros or any other currency and it’s free to use abroad Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Withdrawal of funds

Withdrawal of funds is my only issue as being limited to £300 per day via ATM or the post office can be restrictive Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great bank. Would stay with them moving forward. The app is attractive, money is easy to access and app is user friendly. I would recommend them to anyone and I believe that anyone I would recommend them too would feel the same way I do Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Glad I switched to Starling

I was unsure about changing banks but Starling has made the process seamless. The app is so easy to use. I was a victim of fraud and thanks to the app I was instantly on it with the support of Starling. The fraudsters tried three times to access my account and were thwarted due to the quick response from Starling. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
