Declined by Starling and HSBC

Emergency Fundraiser

Can you help support the Bounce Back Loan helpline? If you are in a position to make a donation it would be gratefully received, and will allow me to continue to be here, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for everyone calling the Helpline. I can only continue with your support. Alternatively, you can of course subscribe to the website.

I know your pretty busy with all the messages, I’m still waiting to here back from starling but seeing the mass declines on twitter I’m not holding out much hope!

If I have to reapply elsewhere, who’s looking the less painful to deal with

So Starling have declined us I’ve just tried to set up an account with HSBC but that’s been declined

Do you know what banks are taking on new clients?

Note: It is important that you ensure your credit files are up to date and correct, as that can often lead to you being declined for a bank account or even a BBL. Any mismatch in information on your report and what you tell the banks will be a red flag and could and probably will lead to a decline.
