I’m not far off 4 times your age and I haven’t had an email about it, either :laughing:

Mixed thoughts…it’s good that they’re offering a competitive interest rate (although not the best). I think this is the product they should have launched instead of the existing fixed rate saver.

Interested to see how it’s implemented - I assume this will be limited to one account that lives in Spaces?

Also wondering if a cut to the existing 3.25% current account rate could be coming :thinking:

Starling has probably been bombarded with this request for many years.

What?

Do you even have a credit file under 18? There’s nothing to report on

That’s their original design, from years back. I have one.

Yes, it was my first Starling card… However it’s as it was my main card at the time, it could be described as “well loved.” :stuck_out_tongue:

I ditched Nationwide after years being with them, and moved to Starling.

Loved the banking refresh.

Wasn’t overly a fan of monzo at the start, but was aware of them.

While not a huge fan of Monzo now, it had its day.

I’m the other way around went from Starling to Nationwide; however I use reward credit cards mostly for payments with the current account mostly only paying direct debits and incoming payments.

I don’t mind nationwide; never been any grief to be fair.

It’s a shame their app and website are so far behind though, but I agree they are easy to deal with and having branches is handy sometimes

I don’t use Starling very often, but yesterday I had to make a transfer from Starling to Monzo and I noticed Starling have placed the “we have not called you” indication in the best possible place: on the transfer confirmation screen, right where I’d want to know if they’re on the phone with me before making a transfer, instead of having to remember to go look this up in some settings menu somewhere.

I hope Monzo copy this soon!
