As I said in this thread, before it was hived off into the Bank Awards thread, Iām seriously thinking of checking out Starling later this month when my closure ābanā ends. Starlings for the average person positives, over Monzo, only seem to increase.

Well Starling Customer Services took 12 minutes to reply to say I can open a new account from the 16th.
Okay, it was an easy email to answer, but still prompt.

Oh I just saw, you donāt need a new card to use it at PO. Thatās probably good news cost wise.
Interesting why one of Monzoās stoppers was their chip.

Interesting. I might be misremembering, but I thought that was one of the original reasons for the new teal card?

I remember them at some point (on their forum) saying that customers will need new cards for PO deposits. Looks like theyāve found a way around it, which is good news for both them (cost-wise) and for customers (who donāt need to replace their cards first).
