Is Monzo going to be featured on the programme as well? Starling will be on it, it seems. It should be interesting

You could so troll the hell out of them out the windows!
Has anyone listened to it? Starling was featured heavily in the program. Nothing about Monzo 
Some of the ideas like that guyās from Handelsbanken lending only to people he knows in the local community and making sure that he can see smoke from the local bakeryās chimney before he decides to lend to them are from the Victorian era.
Open to discriminatory and prejudiced lending practices as hell.
Also, it was said that Starling has around 200 thousand customersā¦

We used to have an office across the road from a competitorā¦
Used to be quite funnyā¦ as when employeeās started to dislike the changes in one officeā¦ theyād get in touch across the road and get a new job there!

I wonder how many are active users weekly and monthly? I guess we will never know.
I have a feeling itās quite high
We can treat this number as reliable. Anyone familiar with the existing procedures on reporting by BBC can guess they mustāve been given an access to some Staling reports. Otherwise, they wouldnāt have mentioned it 
It was Anne who mentioned the figure so itās reliable - assuming you trust her here
(which I do)

Iām going to guess either itās a timing issue, an app is going to be a bit bigger than a script that is changing a value or two; or it was considered unneeded functionality - you would need to be pushing apps and rolling out features more frequently than once every 3/4 years before you even consider needing it.

EMV Issuer scripts and how do they work

EMV v4.1 Book 2 (Section 9 for Secure Messaging)

Maybe this shows Starlingās European expansion plans?

Good spot! No Ireland? 
Iām assuming that euro accounts are still coming first for UK residents, though?

that is an odd oneā¦the terminology I read was that it was coming first for UK residents with some sort of connection to Europe or need to send payments like those with properties abroad, so perhaps it will be phased in?

Great find by @Ad13 in the Starling community there!
Strangely when I tried to register @StarlingBankUS it said the username had already been taken, even though it doesnāt appear in Twitterās search results oh well
