We sat down with Starling’s Chief Marketing Officer Michele Rousseau at last month’s Ideas Fest, to get the inside story on her brand-building career at Starling, Apple and Xbox.   What’s the one thing you want customers to remember about your brand?

What does it actually take to build a business that lasts? Daniel Hogan built, scaled and sold software tool company Ember, and is now Starling’s Product Director.

Starling Bank Highlights Student Financial Pressures as Living Costs Surge Past Maintenance Loan Allowances 📎 UK digital challenger bank Starling Bank has released new research spotlighting a deepening student cost-of-living crisis as university terms kick off. According to the findings, a widening £2,600 shortfall between average student living expenses (£10,227 per year) and standard national maintenance loan allowances (£7,600) is placing undergraduates under acute financial strain, driving a surge in academic and mental health concerns. 📎 Starling's comprehensive student research reveals that 90% of surveyed students and recent graduates report that financial worries have negatively impacted their mental health, while 83% note a direct toll on their academic performance. Driven by the bank's Studentflation Index, which tracks a 47% decade-long surge in living costs outstripping general inflation, nearly all students (96%) have had to adopt severe money-saving measures, ranging from cutting back on socializing and grocery budgets to walking long distances or rationing home energy. 💬 “Everyone in the UK is feeling the impact of inflation, but students are feeling it harder than most, and it’s affecting both their mental health and academic performance as a result. It should not be this way. At Starling, we want to play our part to help students succeed and become the driving force of the economy for years to come.” – Bernadette Smith, Chief Customer and Banking Officer, Starling Bank #StarlingBank #StudentFinances #Studentflation #CostOfLivingCrisis 👉 Read the news in full here: https://financialit.net/news/infrastructure/financial-worries-harming-mental-health-9-10-students-living-costs-surge

Worst Dispute Resolution team at Starling Bank. Protect your money

@HalifaxBank Honestly, the timeliness of the notifications from your app is just shockingly bad & I’ve unfortunately raised this formally countless times. It just needs a complete rewrite, taking some technology lessons from @StarlingBank

Quick question @StarlingBank - is this normal, to disconnect after a commitment to raise the issue? Genuine problems with account - no way to get it raised. No rudeness or aggression from me, just looking to get an issue fixed: https://t.co/UlpfuRS413
