Starling - general thread

Snooze you lose :') I asked for some because I had a feeling they’d stop giving them out !

Not sure how much of an issue this might be, but noticed this in today’s app update notes.

only really a problem for people with older iPhones

iOS 10 was last updated three years ago. Anyone still running this will have a number of unpatched vulnerabilities to worry about. I definitely wouldn’t do my banking on it!

I’ve a better chance of getting struck by lightning. I find it funny that the business secretary actually wrote to the CMA about the gas companies doing this exact same thing.

By exact, you mean “not at all the same” presumably?

What “rates” were you talking about here (before you deleted the comment, calling me a child)?

Let’s stay on topic please, and remember this is primarily a Starling thread before the chat goes too far down the CMA/ gas companies road.

Where they ever paying a decent rate?
0.5% on £85k when I first joined in 2017 then shifted down to £2k limit a few months later.

I really enjoyed how they said after feedback they’d include better notes, to then not do that 2 updates later.

To mention, Starling give notifications upon certain “paying in” thresholds. Got a notification today saying I’ve paid over 800 in this calendar year, so would soon reach my (free, although they didn’t mention this) limit

Ever since they shut down the community forums, they seem to not take any feedback from customers anymore.

App feels miles behind other fintech apps.

In terms of what?

My take is that they see Twitter feedback and acknowledge it. Whether it gains momentum is another matter.

Frankly, I’ve concluded that they don’t see a need to tweak the account/app according to feedback. It doesn’t need tweaking - it works - and they have other fish to fry.
