Starling Bank Chat (Part 2)

Yesterday at just after 3 I sent some money from my Starling account to my Chase account. It started asking me some questions along the lines of ‘is the other about yours’ and ‘are you being being tricked into sending this’ and it’s been in pending ever since :open_mouth:

Is this a regular occurrence? I’d sent some money the previous day no issues and it’s only a £450.

I’ve just chased it up in app and been told it’s with the review team :man_shrugging:

Bit of a pain!

I’m only using Starling for the Kite account and now I’ve got a child account with Monzo I have no real need for Starling. If they take two long I’ll just CASS the money out :sweat_smile:

(Edit) payment has gone through :tada::tada::tada:

Got the new home screen, it’s a bit meh to be honest, the Month spend and the today spend send you to the same place, and the feed feels nothing amazing.

Hmmm…. I got an update in the store, but when I opened the app it was the same screen. R-

Same today. I was never fond of the pie chart so it’s a welcome change for me. I never really use my Starling Account even though in general it seems… stable. Simple, straight forward, no limitations on ATM withdrawals. I even appreciate the okay interest rate on balances. I wish I could find it more exciting

I’ve got the new Home screen.

Checked - didn’t have it. Forced stop and cleared cache - bingo!

Edit: on Android

I’m not sure I like the new Home Screen. It just seems a little jarring in dark mode.

Nice in light mode though…

Maybe it will grow on me.

It’s showing up for me now. I was indifferent to ‘the wheel’, this new view is just showing me a summary at the top and the transactions that I would see if I had swiped up before.

I had wondered if we’d see anything new from Starling this year - so far we have a slight app redesign and a new blog… :neutral_face:

I saw mentioned above about not remembering the older starling Home Screen. This was a screenshot from 2017/18 I took and found clearing out my gallery.

I await starling letting me back. The new Home screen looks chefs kiss to me.

I’ve got it now.

It also looks great. Kinda tempted to switch from Chase but I’d lose out on the cashback :thinking:

I’m on Android.

Ran the app and still there, force closed the app, re-ran and VOILA! (black).

Mine is showing on the Android phone but not on my iPhone yet. Hopefully soon.

It looks good though.

I had an app update today, so showing a new Home screen now :blush:

I’ve got it too. I haven’t seen any pictures of it online yet, but the dark mode looks even better than light mode, imo. Clean and simple - a massive improvement.

Not for me yet.

It’s only the Home Screen and the icons, for now. I didn’t think the rest of the app was that bad.

I’m still waiting for it to change on my iPhone and iPad.

It shows they are still updating the app and moving forward.

Ugh I still don’t like their font.
