Erm, did you miss this - https://www.fintechfutures.com/2019/01/starling-bank-gets-passport-to-security-issue-hell/

Some PINS available to staff they shouldn't be, in encrypted storage versus we'll publish copies of your verification documents onto the internet for anyone to grab.

And don't even talk about the response. Monzo seem to have gone with "Oh shit.. fuck fuck fuck... right, that's been addressed within 24 hours". Whereas Starling's response was " We don’t regard it as a breach or an issue for the ICO"

I know which one seems to be doing security right, and it aint Starling.
