For a bank that positions itself towards the “greener” end of the spectrum, I’ve just received a massive amount of paper in the post from starling. Terms and conditions in 2 big booklets. Seems a bit overkill.

What benefits does Starling’s easy saver have over the old spaces with interest?
They turned me down too. It’s not the first time… maybe they marked me earlier for something. So I closed my account last week

I don’t have a joint account, but my understanding on the way they’re setup with Starling is that to setup a joint account, you actually need both participants to already have personal accounts with Starling. The joint account is then setup alongside them.
So, anyone who does have a joint account, should actually also have a personal account anyway and can setup an Easy Saving account with that.

Only if it’s allowed. I’m still getting ‘this account type isn’t available’.
Just applied for the Easy Saver and was accepted immediately. I don’t use my Starling account and only have £1 in it, so no idea what their criteria are.

Neither do they. That was their problem.

I was about to ask whether you’d opened a FlexOne saver yet

But don’t give up easy money.
Compounding from early on gives you a huge advantage.

I have mine and theirs in AJ Bell. Had mine with them almost since they started in 1999.
Depends on how much you’re putting in. Dealing charge is £5 on shares and £1.50 on funds, plus 0.25% (max £10/month) on the shares. Mine and theirs are in investment trusts. I don’t deal that often (maybe once every couple of years on theirs), so for them you’re talking £5 upfront plus a matter of 50p or so a month.

Just received my 50-something page A4 documents from Starling. What a waste of paper.

No - there were a couple of loose A4 pages summarising the changes in T&Cs for overdrafts and then a complete A4 book of the T&Cs. It has gone straight into the recycling.

They’ve replied to somebody on X who asked why, saying that as a fully-regulated bank they sometimes need to send information by post.
I can’t remember who it was now but one of my banks used to send a complete copy of the T&Cs by post whenever I added their card to Apple Wallet. So three separate copies, sent separately, when I added their card to my iPhone, iPad and Watch.
Barclaycard for me - though not any more.
Give them a ring and complain.

Barclaycard have sent me the T&Cs about 100 times because of this.
