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 no fuss bank.

It was so easy to open an account, no fuss no daft questions to answer. No fuss to change banks all done in days. The app is easy to navigate, setting up direct debit. Most definitely the no fuss bank. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Amazing

Absolutely amazing customer service. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

easy to use and manage

The reason I love starling is because i am able to put my money in different saving sections and label what i am saving for. Also, starling tells me how much I've spent each month and in different categories of what I have spent my money on and how to improve how much i spent each month and on what i spend my money on to be less of an amount and different its easy to use and doesn’t cause me any problems Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Great service

Easy, no nonsense excellent service

From the straightforward account set up to the help with managing my spending the account is excellent and I am converted for good now! My partner now has an account with them too and we’ve set up a joint account to manage our bills all simply but sensibly. I feel I can really trust them. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
