Starling Bank Chat (Part 2)

[Remi]

Emojies just underlines concept

[Remi]

So, back to the topic

How many personal accounts do you have at Starling?
I have all 3, all in use

[Jays6]

I have none, all my banking needs are with Monzo

[ysconhb (Jenny Linson)]

@Jays6

I have none

You’re not the most useful person on a thread for discussing Starling then.

[Jays6]

Please accept my apologies

[ysconhb (Jenny Linson)]

Not really…

[Gaoler]

Well, I need Personal, Euro, Business and Joint, so monzo doesn’t come close

Congratulations to Starling Bank who have won Best Current Account Provider in the British Bank Awards for a fourth consecutive year

Also to Monzo who received a “Highly Commended” accolade in this category.

Edit: Starling have won Best Business Banking Provider too.
Edit #2: Best Banking App
Edit #3: Best British Bank (award #4)

I still think the awards are pointless. It massively depends on what people’s needs are. For many people, the likes of Starling and Monzo will be the worst as they may need the branch service. I have closed my Monzo account again as it isn’t for me (I’m still not sure why. There’s just something about the app that I don’t like). I also stopped the opening of my Starling Account after having some terrible customer service. For me, the high street banks are the best but that’s because I don’t really care about a lot of the “improved” features mobile banks offer. I prefer banks that get the basics essentially perfect, which with some things isn’t Monzo or Starling.

Where is this being reported please?

[Lightning720]

You can find the results on Twitter.

[danmullen]

As @Lightning720 said, they’ve been posting the results on Twitter as they were announced.

[j06 (Jamie)]

Thanks. Twitter is such a cesspit these days I didn’t even think to look there.

iOS is now showing transaction details in Spaces.

However - the initial screen only shows the time of the transaction, not the date (looks to be the same in @Remi 's screenshot above. Also, it doesn’t include round-up transactions.

Starling just launched dark mode in their latest app update

[MainPapaya]

I’ve just updated on Android but not seeing any option for it…

[PaulUK]

It’s Apple only atm by the look of it

[mirodo]

Here’s how it looks.

[TTJJ]

Not as wild as some people over dark modes but it’s nice. Bit too dark, perhaps.

[j06 (Jamie)]

Makes you wonder why it’s taking Monzo so long.
