Failing to resolve post Brexit issues with SEPA

3
As an internet bank they are quite good but since Brexit, at the end of 2020, my SEPA DIRECT DEBITS to Starling are all failing. Water, Electric, Community and other direct debits are all going unpaid. The fix Starling suggests simply does not work, I have tried it several times. Their customer support people take the view that it is my problem and I should resolve it myself with each of the banks that my suppliers use. This is neither realistic or helpful. So, in my opinion, they are a good bank until there is a problem: then they become Ostrich Bank! Reviewed on: 31st March 2021

If you want to manage your own investments in funds and stocks there is really is no one better than Fidelity. Great software tech, low costs and very easy to use. Being able to research and swap funds in seconds is brilliant! Reviewed on: 18th January 2021
