Is it possible to pay in euros cash via the post office to your euro account?
I doubt it… but this would be very handy if so

No euro account here yet 
By the way, do you get a card for the euro account and/or if I use my normal Starling card for a euro transaction, will it use the euro balance instead?
No card for the account yet.
Currently, if you use your card for a Euro transaction, it’ll still come from your GBP balance.
Can’t remember the last update, but I believe the plan is to use the one card (in the way you’ve described), rather than having 2 cards.

The teal didn’t last long

This has just killed Revolut for me. I prefered them over Transferwise. I can now easily ‘without fees’ convert to Euro and transfer to my KBC Ireland Euro bank account.
Starling has just taken over as my spending account from N26 as of today. If multiple GBP personal accounts are launched or they fix my niggling bug, I may switch fully from Monzo.

Just be aware that you can’t move money into your Starling Euro account at all during the weekend (obviously Revolut are expensive at the weekend, but if you were desperate, you can).
But I agree, for what I was using Revolut for, Starling have replaced them (the odd time I’d need to make a Euro transfer), and I just feel much more comfortable with Starling!

Planning one card two currencies (or maybe three if they launch somewhere else) still waiting though!

Cheers for the heads up!
Does Starling have the ability to move money in and out of a goal/pot automatically like IFTTT and does it have roundups and can you do 1p challenge etc?
It has roundups, and you can put a multiplier on roundups by x2, x5 and x10 too - a feature many on here have requested Monzo add.
I’m not sure about the IFTTT-like integration, because I have no experience with IFTTT yet, but in theory it should be possible.
I don’t think theory comes into play here. They’ve either created/approved an integration or they haven’t.
In either case, it looks like they haven’t and currently have no plans to.

Ahh man, no IFTTT is gonna make it harder to move away from Monzo now 
His original question was whether Starling could do the same things IFTTT can, not necessarily if it has IFTTT integration.
If you’re techy enough you might be able to use the Starling API. I think they have a dev Slack - maybe pop on and ask?

Hi Danny, just curious why you want to move away from Monzo? (and I’m asking this as someone who did transition from Monzo to Starling for my main spending account)
I gather from your name that you’re not happy with the latest app design preview?
I can’t even do TfL receipts

I am just unhappy in general and like they say it’s the small things that escalate in to one big thing to a point that I am now looking at moving to Starling.
Main things are Merchant Data issues, this really annoys me and should have been resolved by now not ignored and yes, I am well aware that Starling also have these issues so this point is not really valid.
The new layout, I do not like it nor do I want it after trying it. Like with everything I feel this will be forced on us like the pulse graph and look what happened to that, it took years to finally get rid of it even after we all knew is was rubbish from day one.
Bugs, I get that bugs happen but when they when they are known they should be fixed not released in to other versions (I am speaking about pot bug).
iOS/Android parity, I have been requesting for months that we should be able to move money to pots fortnightly like on Android, not for myself but a friend who is not on here but nothing.
There are more but those are the main ones.
I get that I will be giving up IFTTT etc but if I never had before with Metrobank I can do without it on Starling.
And yes the above may seem trivial to some but as I said it’s the small things that turn to big things and if something is going to be released make sure it works or at least pull it and fix it straight away.

You’ll be pleased to know I submitted a merchant logo change to Starling 2.5 months ago and it hasn’t changed.
I do prefer the layout of Monzo, but there’s not a lot between them these days. IFTTT is the big one for me though.
EDIT: (fwiw, I use Starling as a secondary account for international withdrawals, cash deposits and when I can’t use Monzo for whatever reason such as card details stolen, etc)

I don’t understand why both Monzo and Starling thought they had to reinvent the wheel here.
Nationwide has a boring and perfectly clear and usable layout, for example.
It’s not very cool, of course…

I thought the old layout (minus pulse graph) was perfectly fine. They’ve just replaced the graph with something worse. #Graph2.0
