    Starling would be no different to any other bank as they all have to follow the same rules.
    Or maybe they don't  :-)

    Starling Bank fined £29mn over ‘shockingly lax’ crime controls (ft.com)
    They won't let me open a second account because I swapped my first one elsewhere for £200. Clearly I'm not nearly dodgy enough for their usual customer base. 
    I have heard people say this but I opened a new one within a year of switching out an account without any issues. Maybe hit and miss
    that one year ban rule used to be the case in the past, however since around beginning of the year they do not accept returning customers at all
    I opened and switched in September 2022
    I believe I opened the account / joint account on the 8th January this year so maybe I got lucky

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I had a joint and a sole account. Transferred sole over. Less than a year tried to open sole account. It was referred and declined. After 1 year since closing tried account and it was opened straight away. 

    I think.it use to be 12 months since closure.
