Seems like Anne is the Trump of banking
I would argue Anne is the opposite of anything Trump.
Not disruptive enough?!
Indeed. I only mentioned it because Anne did.
They share the trait of using fake news to distract their opponents
Ooooh Iâm interested to see their credit card offering
Nice post from Anne.
I wouldnât hold your breath. Euro accounts have been âaround the cornerâ for some time.
Haha, every business has its challenges and sometimes things donât go to plan. Iâm sure itâll be worth it when it happens
Tomâs old post on credit cards as âfinancial products that donât address daily problems directlyâ (to paraphrase his words) feels a bit irrelevant now, if we consider that the overdraft is just as much such a financial product, and possibly a more lucrative one for banks (I might be very wrong?). A credit card can be useful for a number of reasons and I find it hard to believe that Monzoâs reasoning for not offering such a product at the time was entirely based on ethics.
Anyway the thing Iâm most excited about is the euro account.
What did you moan about?
I didnât moan about anything!
What did I do to deserve this?
No message in app or package.
Normally you get them in response to a complaint or poor customer service. Nothing like that recently?
Socks are quite comfortable, I was given a pair by someone who didnât want them
Well, I intend to complain now!
At no point did I consent to my data being used to send me treats
I actually made a complaint quite some time ago, but the responses were so incompetent from CS that I just gave up replying. I wasnât going to do their work for them. They couldnât even put together the multiple chats it was split across.
Oh well, got some socks then.
Thatâll be an interesting chat. âI did not consent to my data being used to send me treats. I demand you use my data to send me more treats as an apology for the previous treatsâ. See if you can get the Starling gloves or flask
A flask?! No way. Whoâs had that?
Only seen 1 photo of it, not sure if it was on twitter on the old forum. It exists but not sure if it was ever released in the wild
As ever with Starling, Iâm fascinated to see who buys them, money has to be on RBS at the moment with the deal theyâve done. Question isnât a case of but when.
I see so many of these type of posts yet no-one has ever given a good explanation as to why they think this way.
Starling has built a platform that allows them to earn revenue from a number of different channels. Itâs likely theyâll be profitable next year. Why would selling to a big bank be a good idea?
