Breaking news, from a TechCrunch reporter -
Monzo has ~15k users in the queue right now & >190k signed up! But it’s still early days 
He’s just tweeted a link to a new blog post from Starling too -
To begin with, we are going to be onboarding people in weekly groups, sending out single-use Starling Pass codes that will grant instant access to open a Starling Bank account from the app.
Edit - it looks like Starling sent out a batch of emails (at around 2:15 pm) letting users know how many weeks they’ll have to wait, before they receive their passcode…except mine doesn’t tell me!
