Yes, it gives the option to log into an existing account if you have one
Cool, dont use nutmeg but was actually looking into a stocks and shares isa because interest rates are crap atm.
Would love monzo to do something similar with moneybox
My only issue with Starling integrations like these is that itâs not immediately visible, or just one click/swipe away from the main page (like Monzo have it in the card carousel, and in the section when you click your profile picture).
Iâd really like it if we could see the main account, the spaces, the marketplace integrations (those that have a value to display), all in one location/view, you know?
I use Moneybox but canât see them integrating with anyone to be fair, I donât recall them ever saying it was on the roadmap. I suppose never say never though
This was a big disappointment to me. They make a big-ish deal out of their Marketplace, but anything you connect is hidden away and have the absolute bare minimum of detail.
Itâs kind of pointless in its current form.
I like the Starling offering but this whole âguess whatâs comingâ bull is getting boring⌠Iâm epecting the next one to be "coming soon⌠look itâs xmas "
in fairness Iâm getting upset over all their tweets recently
Itâs a very risky game when what youâre about to announce isnât the best thing ever ever ever.
People get really excited and in their own minds convince themselves itâs 10% interest on their current accounts and when itâs not that, because it was never going to be, theyâre disappointed.
The disappointment in this thread does seem to be a case of people here not managing their own expectations of what the Starling Marketplace actually is and does, and what products they want Starling to integrate as opposed to what is launched.
If a companyâs âcoming soonâ tweets wind you up, perhaps you need to look at why youâre reading those tweets?
Thatâs very fair. Iâm disappointed that the integrations are so âshallowâ, but (as far as Iâm aware) Starling has never aimed to be a financial hub so itâs unfair of me to be disappointed when they donât go down that route.
It is fun to watch the ire thrown around for things like tweets, pretty innocent advertising, and features and priorities not being exactly what you wanted.
Tbf, Starling has brought out some great features recently, but has also been teasing some big products/changes for years, so this could have gone many ways. Theyâve cried wolf far too much now though to repeat.
âWe now pull your balances from Nutmegâ
When the marketplace launched with Wealthify, I wanted
-
personal data sharing from Starling to make opening an account much quicker
-
instant transfers to and from the partners
-
ability to launch the partner app (and log in) from within Starling
-
fully linked up transactions with partner in transaction feed and separate section in summary
Years go by, and nothing even closeâŚ
Maybe itâs because I donât use Twitter that I donât get to see the âsoonâ generic reply for every boring feature request asked ad infinitum.
Indeed, at the end of the day these features may be a little lacking, but theyâre free to all users and not locked away to all but customers with an active subscription, nor are they sending out push notifications about it.
If you didnât go on social media or go looking for it in-app, you wouldnât see it.
Or come across it in a Monzo community forum
I donât think I mentioned MonzoâŚ
It seems to be an annoyingly common tactic these days. IFTTT has been badgering me mercilessly about their Pro account for having (shock, horror) more than three applets on my account. Freetradeâs new âPlusâ subscription which hives off a load of equities to those paying ÂŁ120 a year. Iâm sure there are others --everything wants to be a subscription apparently.
The trouble is, so many of them are of little value.
Yes, there is thatâŚ
I think, based on the description, and recent issues, it was a clear nod to Monzo. But I can see why youâd be upset. Sorry I upset you, Neil.
Well this thread has deteriorated rather, but for the purposes of retaining topic relevance, I must say the message led me to think bigger than what transpired.
Mind you, Iâve never been a fan of the marketplace idea - Starling or Monzo. Theyâve tended to offer underwhelming products with the only perk being convenience and visibility.
Pointless, though this plea is, Iâll say it anyway. Resist flagging and engage.
Unnecessary flagging is so easy.
Engaging in dialogue may be a tad challenging at times but at least it exercises the mind.
I donât think Iâd ever link any 3rd party accounts like this to be fair, I tend to find the app that the provider has focused on works better than any other integration.
I donât mind having everything separated out, itâs an extra few minutes a month to open up an app, look at whatever I need to do then close it and forget about it for another few weeks
Itâs nice to get a quick view of my PensionBee or Wealthify balance though without having to login to a different app.
