Starling - general thread

Yep - all sorted. :relieved:

Don’t they automatically default to open banking linking now? At least to add the accounts

Finally got the option to include payment from spaces in the spending section on iOS

I’ve downloaded the update. The notes say it deals with foreign currency transfers. Can’t see anything else new. R-

There are quite a few tweets to Starling about payments to crypto firms being blocked. Starling have replied saying that they’ve taken the decision to block all card payments to crypto companies.

Didn’t Starling do this once before? I seem to have a vague recollection of crypto being blocked by them in the past :thinking:

For those not on Twitter, just a selection of Tweets…

Yes I think they did before allowing it again I tried doing a bank transfer to Ziglu but as expected was blocked

Apparently new savings product coming soon

Interesting, wonder if it’ll be Starling savings accounts, or marketplace.

Going to be a few now for connected card spaces

Now that extra Starling accounts are free, I’d be interested to hear how others are using extra accounts vs Spaces.

If they give you a different/virtual card for the second account I’d use it for bills but currently using spaces for bills as no benefit to using the second account

I’m using the additional current account for all DDs/SOs and the main current account for everything else.

I could use a space for the regular payments but I want all transactions to be available via their API.
