Starling is neat except you need to request a special exemption from them for EVERY payment you send over £25,000.

Only takes them an hour or so to approve it for you, but it gets pretty old having to do it 3-5x per week.

It's actually quite unusual to be making 3-5 payments over £25k in a typical week. Not saying it isn't a real problem for you, but I suspect only a very small fraction of potential users will be bothered by that particular point of friction.
