If you read the updates it states that the billing period from 1st December is free onwards

I seen, though I did just see how it looks and it didn’t charge me to reopen, said something about 1st Jan - which isn’t gonna happen as per said updates.

Nice move on their part. Always wondered why Monzo haven’t allowed a secondary account, given they’re rolling the 04-00-03 sort code out.

Is that for personal accounts or are they using the new range for something else?

I always thought that they’d missed a trick by not using different sort codes for different products (personal, joint, business etc).

Is it a second account but still only the one card? Bit like Chase.

Yes I believe so which is a shame

Yeah very chase like, move your main card to the secondary account to spend.

You can set up direct debits etc from the other account, or vice versa, and use the main as spending (if full starling).

Strangely just received this :sweat_smile:

Edit: which just covers all the above.

Same here might as well just keep at as I have it at the moment with all my direct debits and standing orders coming out a space

This looks like a good solution for the open banking issue with paying DDs from a Space. Regular payments from one account, spending from the other, with all transactions available via the API.

What they haven’t fixed is the option to add both joint account and personal accounts via open banking, it’s one or the other.

Not sure if it’s Starling with the issue or the one requesting access.

Oh that’s clever. Thought I was looking at a first direct ad for a moment.

I think that Starling could probably sweep up most of the First Direct demographic tbh. But yes, that’s very First Direct!

I wonder whether, if Starling could do phone banking to an equivalent to FD, whether that would be a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

3491

Looks like a nice advert, but why did they decide to add a small debit card to it? Just seems to look out of place.

3492

I would honestly bank in one place if Monzo offered a secondary joint account .

Has anyone had the issue where they try to join Starling but get refused with no explanation? Is there any way to appeal or find out why?

3501

I kept being declined due to an old stuck application.

Have you had an account in the past, but since closed? You can’t reopen within 12 months.

Apparently according to Twitter virtual cards are coming very soon
