Starling’s deposit base grew by nearly 500% to £5.8 billion (2019: £1 billion)

Starling broke even for the month of October 2020 and has recorded a profit every month since then.
It’s an impressive set of figures. I love that they haven’t needed to introduce fees for personal customers, or place limits on foreign ATM usage, etc. The business banking side of things hopefully means that they won’t ever have to do go down that route.
This is a good benefit, or at least it will be when I get confident about the safety of flying again. Trying to decide who to CASS towards, Starling or Monzo. Both are great apps. Nothing much wrong with FD but it seems a bit tame. Inertia eh?

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. I should have said, “place limits on free foreign ATM usage”. I expect there to be limits in terms of daily withdrawals, both home and abroad
