Didn’t they refine their look not so long ago?

What is the new look? That video only lasts 3 seconds and the logo doesn’t look any different…
I’m not sure about the big butt on that S, but I don’t dislike it overall. I quite liked the old logo though.
It looks a bit same-y to me. Not sure I’m a fan, but time will tell…
I’m curious, where did you find that?
That’s awful.

It was in their email to me. They wanted to give customers a head’s up so, in their words:
Scammers sometimes try and take advantage in times of transition, so we’re giving you an overview of the changes in advance.

The new designs are nasty.

I’ve a lot of time for Starling, but this look is in no sense an improvement. It’s always looked rather elegant. Not so now…..

Looks like a railway station chain cafe trying to be trendy 10 years ago. Cack.

I think I object to the colour scheme more than the typeface or logo, but none of them are good. Oh well, it’s not a deal breaker for me.

downloaded my starling app again. overall i’m convinced that the app is still a lot smoother than alternatives and without the bloat that Revolut have, while much more professional looking than Monzo
I just wish one of them would let you add nicknames to merchants (per transaction and generically) and I wish one of them would let me either a) upload my own logos or b) switch to categories only (like N26 did).

I genuinely don’t understand the Monzo app. It is a chaotic mess.

I find it straightforward tbh. But then I don’t have a joint account messing up my transaction lists or bill pots.
Wonder how much this rebrand cost? There was nothing wrong with the old logo.

Actually I kinda think this one looks worse

I’d probably use Revolut exclusively if they moved hidden items to the server (instead of having to rehide everything on every install) and made some small changes. I really wish their paid plans could be slightly altered (like being able to remove subscriptions/insurances, even if it’s not “remove them individually” but move them as a whole).
I may give them a look if they ever become a proper bank and up their fraud game: Revolut: More than 100 customers contact BBC about scams - BBC News
…but I will stick with Starling for now, even though you still can’t automatically transfer into any of their interest-bearing savings accounts. I still think that is weird.
They are technically a proper bank now, although they’re not using their licence for anything right now because they’re not a bank without restrictions on their licence
The new look appears to be live…apart from the favicon. https://www.starlingbank.com
