With that type of profile, you may be better off with the likes of HSBC Premier (or similar) unless you have a particular attachment to Starling

Thanks, I have been considering a premier account for a while. Might take a look in the new year.

My biggest gripe with Starling (and other banks) is their incomplete merchant data, specifically logos.

If you’re going to do logos in the transaction feed, do it well. If you’re not going to do it well don’t do it all.

A mismatch mess of half correct logos and half “AMAZON 827428/&6271” is worse to me.

As far as I’m aware it is a person reviewing all the videos.

Shouldn’t you be doing Elf on the Shelf or something?

I thought that they’d removed that from the menus years ago!

You had to back in the day.

There wasn’t much choice, if any, fee free wise.

It seems a fair bit of faff for a poor 4% rate tbh.

Your first image clearly says that there is no need to tell HSBC that you plan to travel - though the option does exist if you wish too…

Marcus is 4.3 and ford is 4.65 although about to drop I think.

Yes, they did the same with me last year.

Mystery deepens for me, then, because I only have the one card. I do have a Euro account but I can’t see how that would make a difference.

This is the first time I’ve ever been refused a savings account :slight_smile:

So, just opened my Easy Saver with a whole £7 in it so far!

Easy enough to open and no delays or anything.

But…the whole product is worthless and RUINED! RUINED I tell you! Because it looks like you can’t change the Thumbnail so I’ve just got a generic purple blob.

Also, its slightly strange(ish) that you can only open 1 Easy Saver, but they still ask you to give the space a specific name - I suppose that’s just a relic of the fact that they’ve probably frankensteined this product from their general Spaces/Fixed Saver accounts.

Is that just because you can’t have it though :thinking:
