Don’t bother if you invest in crypto

When I started with starling I was able to invest in crypto. However, they have taken the decision to ban all customers from doing this. Unfortunately this meant I was unable to withdraw my assets into my starling account when I needed to, causing untold issues. Don’t trust a bank that unilaterally dictates what you can, and cannot spend your money on. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
