There’s a difference between “actively in testing” and promised. At no point is anything promised in that linked article

Think you might need to manage your own expectations a little better, and stop inventing mythical deadlines to be disappointed at.

Dunno, it did make me feel at some point in the past that starling was working on a personal credit card. Instead of launching that they launched connected and children cards instead. Both with small monthly fees.
Overall maybe it is for the best. Since a straightforward debit cards with spending controls are easy to implement and support on ongoing basis. And at the same time generate revenue stream.
Credit card products are more difficult to design, implement, and service. With a very different risk & revenue profile. I.e. see how Tandem credit card failed.

Which is why an agile fintech ‘could’ own the space. It seems like it’s just too hard
Both the Connected card and Kite card were launched before this article mentioning a credit card, though?
My memory is from this March 2019 article, from before pandemic.
And instead of that, under pandemic circumstances they launched connected card.

Sounds like a good fit. Starling has been very prominent in this area.
