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

Faultless

Opened a Starling account as I travel abroad a lot. Fee free transactions, best exchange rate possible and an instant message with my spend, make it the best banking decision I've ever made Had cause to contact them once, and customer service was excellent Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

A little attention about some companies trying take easy money without customer permission

Banking, done

Exceptional customer service

When the bank text you to say your debit card has been stopped as it was dropped and found by a stranger who reported it to the bank, you may be a little alarmed. I had just ordered (and received) dinner on holiday in Iceland when this happened to me. Terrified I would not be able to pay for the delicious food, I contacted Starling immediately to tell them of my predicament. Straight away they put a new card onto my phone and I could enjoy my meal (and the rest of my holiday) knowing no crisis had been made out of a potential drama. Had this been my previous bank I most certainly would have waited hours for a resolution - and most probably would have been doing the washing up at the restaurant! The Starling customer service team were pleasant and very efficient. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
