As more of us get out and about to our favourite pubs and cinemas, splitting the cost of the pints or popcorn couldn’t be simpler. We run through the ways to settle up the bill with your friends and family, with Starling.
Nearby Payments
If you want to pay someone back straight away and they’re also a Starling customer, why not use Nearby Payments? This feature enables you to make a secure payment to another Starling account without setting them up as a payee.
To make a Nearby Payment, your two phones need to be within a few metres of each other and both of you need to open Nearby Payments by going to your ‘Payments’ screen, tapping ‘Send Money’ and then ‘Nearby Payments’. You can then click on the name of the person you’d like to send money to, enter the amount and ping it over.
