Over cheking the legitimate & refusing to block fraud

1
On the one hand you flagged red fraud warning when trying to pay the HMRC or Easyjet and when actual fraud occurs you've refused to do anything other that cancel cards placing all the inconveneince on us to update all our payments when you should be inbestigating / blcoking real fraud. You also refused us buisness bank account recently despite us having 400k in our account. All very dissapointing. Reviewed on: 16th March 2024

Love Starling. It’s so easy to use and I love the spaces savings. Love the way you can change the app colour and festive hats and snow etc. What I really love is just the name. Starling. It’s just so funky and memorable. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 16th March 2024
