Starling Bank Chat (Part 2)

Are you limited to only 1 or can you open multiple?

Yes unfortunately. Especially odd when you can have up to 50 fixed savers lol.

Makes no difference when whatever they did they believe was innocent and not reflective of reasons for closure.

My Mum gets a screen similar to this, so I think theyโ€™re slowly rolling it out to Personal, 18+ Accounts.

Nice. Itโ€™s definitely a slow rollout.

Just one Easy Saver space is absolutely rubbish. I have six spaces for bills and various annual payments like insurance etc. so the only way to earn interest on those will be to just use one big space which somewhat defeats the point

Opened one out of curiosity. Discovered it hides at the bottom of the screen.

No use to me โ€ฆ currently.

Still not rolled out for me yet, I probably wonโ€™t use it but will open one just because.

Out of interest, does anyone speak Romanian? Iโ€™m just wondering how โ€˜tiedโ€™ the various banks that all use the Starling Engine are in terms of products.

Is Salt Bank https://salt.bank (in Romania) also launching a similar instant access savings account. From the pictures on their website, it looks like theyโ€™ve got a mix of the old โ€˜pieโ€™ homescreen and the new one.

I donโ€™t think the Australian bank thatโ€™s going to be using Starling has launched yet - I think that was meant to be early 2025?

The christmas style on their website is annoying me way more than it should. Idk why. Just is.

No. I used to have the mindset that Christmas could start from like mid-november. Now, christmas starts on 1st december, and no earlier.

No wonder youโ€™re level 2 :laughing: :wink: /s

Nah but each to their own. Itโ€™s just not really my thing. I think banking is one of these things that has to be serious. You can do a Monzo/Starling and throw in some emojis, but overall, it should still look proffesional and serious, because finance is serious, with potential lifelong consequences.

So funnily enough they say โ€œfirst 100% Romanian neobankโ€. Given theyโ€™re built on Starling platform Iโ€™d doubt that.

They offer 3% interest on current account but this appears to have been limited to just this year, and then they have fixed-term deposits.

and you also have to deposit X amount each month as well. Kinda like the Nationwide FlexDirect 5/1% thing.
