Starling Bank Chat (Part 2)

Something tells me banks keep sortcodes for internal processes but can’t remember what reasons this could be :weary_face: either that or it was a dream :joy:

I think Starling have some good points- but they’re lacking in some of the finer details I.e payments tab. I’d liken it a bit to video games where you have impressive cut scene graphics but the gameplay has a drop in functionality.

What do you find lacking about the payments tab in Starling?

It feels a bit rigid and old fashioned. The Pay button reminds me of NatWest who’s aesthetic I really don’t like- so I have a negative association with that part of the app.

Wow, someone at Starling must have heard me- they’ve added a Spending tracker feature (category budgets) it’s like the Monzo targets :grinning_face:

Can you share some images?

Do you mean this? Can’t see anything new on the spending screen

They also have this AI where you can ask how much you’ve spent at a certain retailer or things like that

Brilliant to finally see budgeting/tracking spending as a feature - but does it not include spending from Spaces?

Don’t have that either. It’s a bit annoying that Starling have a “manage features” setting like Monzo labs but neither seem to use them often for new features.

Monzo still use Monzo Labs but much less frequently.

I don’t recall Starling ever doing anything like that, they may have at the very beginning, as they used to have a forum as well. However that forum was shutdown quite early on.

There’s currently one item under manage features on Starling, the AI spending analysis

I can’t see the spending tracker either.
