Starling - general thread

They’re scrapping interest on their Personal and Joint accounts, so I guess it’s kind of a case of give with one hand and take away with another!

The current account interest never stacked up to much anyway. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Some is always better than none. I may have to start using Kroo :scream:

You could do worse. :relieved:

I can’t locate a source for that - is there one lurking somewhere?

Thanks!

Was that an email?

Email Graham it’s also in the t and cs now.

Thankyou :relieved:

This seems really ill-thought considering they don’t have the space for everyone to be in 10 days a month.

Lots of businesses doing this. It’s a cheap way of laying people off.

Aye, seems that way. The combination of this and the interest changes have really irked me. I’m thinking of just moving everything back to the brick & mortar account and having done with it.

It’s a pretty wretched way of treating staff. Hopefully the workers rights coming in will put a stop to it (I wonder if the glut of this we’re seeing in the UK is partly being done to get it done before their chances are spoilt?).

Apparently the Easy Saver is being rolled out now, although I don’t have the option in the app yet.

Is it showing for anyone else, if anyone is going for it?

The website suggests it is live, but my app has other ideas. It still just says ‘Coming soon’ in my feed. Easy Saver Savings Account - Starling Bank

I’m planning to put some money in there just as an additional savings account, but I’ve reduced my use of Starling for day to day banking. I’m mostly back to brick & mortar account and Amex for the groceries now.

It shows as “It’s on its way”, in my spaces

I force-closed my app and am now seeing this. So, that’s something…

All the positive posts that I have seen have been from iOS users.

It is available on Android.

I just did a Check Updates in Google Play under My Apps as the automated updater did not offer one.

Eight apps, including Starling, appeared with available updates.

Once updated, the Easy Saver was available under the Spaces tab.

My application is now being reviewed. Weird, but I was aware from others that that happens. As I am typing, a notification has come in saying Easy Saver open. So less than two minutes :smiley:

Only ONE Easy Saver is permitted.

How much I’ll use mine, I’m not sure yet.

No separate account number. Just an interest bearing Space. Close the Personal Current Account and this one goes as well.

Not possible to create a Virtual Card to this Space. That’s a pity.

Cannot assign an image to it either :man_facepalming:

And it’s rooted at the bottom of the Spaces tab, below all my Spaces, so double scroll required :man_shrugging:
