Starling Bank Early Access

[charliemb]

Has anyone had early access to the business account with 2 or more persons of significant control? I've put my name down for it but I've read elsewhere that nothing has ever happened from it.
Would love to know whether I can rely on it so I can cancel opening an account with Barclays!
Thanks

Why do you want to cancel the account with Barclays? We helped a client open one recently. It helps if you keep the pressure on them.

Well, it's a lot of hassle to open an account with them where as Starling I can open one quite easily. Mostly though, it's the fact that there's a monthly fee for Barclays with little benefits.

Yes, we have account with Starling bank (just one person of significant control). They were able to instantly give you sort code and account number in few hours and then took about 4 days for making the account verified.
