      It’s a shame, I’ve always had a good experience with starling as a normal customer, these are some serious red flags to be wary of though, I used their card when I was in the states and had zero fees or exchange rate shenanigans, it was a refreshing change from my regular bank.

      Fuck them. They were so happy to give out tax payer backed loans to companies registered the same day with made up accounts yet did not want to talk to companies that were there for 2+ years with them.

      Used by many a scammer to move funds not surprised it’s had its wings clipped. All the online only banks are a red flag for customers to be sending large amounts of money to in job.

      Jesus Christ how are they still allowed to be operating?
      Clip their wings? Snap their “commercial” neck.

      Some quality writing / editing right there..

      Nothing in this story makes me disappointed that I have an account with them.

      The article rehashes lots of old news to admit at the end it’s now updated process and compliance.

      We have have banks 100+ years old that have been fined for truly serious money laundering that get less attention than this.

      Seems a hit piece more than anything

      I have a Starling account and would hate to lose it. Their savings pots are an excellent feature, I use about 10 of them for basic expense saving eg birthdays, vets bills, next xmas etc.
