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

Modern banking

A great example of how modern banking should be. Flawless digital experience with features that much bigger banks are missing i.e. scanning cheques, instant notification of money in/out, saving pots and balance partitioning Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

It just works

The title of my review says everything. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

simple banking

So easy to set.up and use your account with the app. You can have different pots for your money which makes it easy to see what you can spend and where your money goes. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy, reliable, good communications

I opened a Starling account because I wanted a bank with a good reputation for customer service. Everything has worked easily, quickly and well. I was particularly impressed by the sign-up service which went without a hitch during lockdown. To be honest, despite the many positive reviews for customer service, I've never had to use it as nothing has glitched so far. Everything's online but the card and payments work exactly as my other 'bricks-and-mortar' banks' do, and I like Starling's communicative, in-touch approach. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
