Starling Transfer Restrictions

RandomUser923759

Been on a chat with starling this morning (not only am I annoyed they constantly ditch the chats and re queue you)

But I am so annoyed that they restrict transfers to 1.00 minimum.

Why is their choice how much you can transfer.

It might seem petty but I like to move my monthly interest to one account where I accumulate all my interest - which is less than 1.00.

There are definitely more than 1 reason why you might want to move whatever value you want!

Out of curiosity, why do you want to make a transfer of less than a quid?

RandomUser923759

It says in my post why...

Paul_01

Let it accrue till it gets over a quid, maybe?

You could save it all up until you have a pound or more

If this is critical to you, you could transfer £1.00 plus your interest out and then £1.00 back in

I know I can send it to my nationwide account and send 38p back etc etc but why should I? Every other bank allows a simple process.

What If I close the account and have 99p left in there - they get to keep it?

Starling is a win win win for me and everyone else who signed up I expect . Except you. No forex charges on foreign ATM withdrawals or purchases, near perfect Forex rates, instantaneous transfers to top up the account using ApplePay, brilliant realtime spending feedback on purchases and tools to track spending. Cannot understand where they are making money and yet you are complaining about this?

Yes, I am all for challenger banks, but they should at the very least be able to do what an existing bank does first!

Transfer what you like.

Going back several months their chat function was superb, now they constantly leave the chats mid conversation.

Probably best you leave then as you are clearly not satisfied.

I just went to the hassle of joining.

I'm afraid some people are never satisfied. It's just a fact of life.
