For multi-owner accounts, one user will need to initiate the switch from the app. All directors with access to the app will then need to approve the request (we’ll send them a notification explaining this).
Download the app and apply for an account in minutes. Once you’ve been verified, follow the steps above to start the switch to Starling.
Please note: we do not support partial account switching.
The whole process is quick, safe and guaranteed.
We’ll send a request to your old bank to confirm the switch.
If you have given permissions to Third Party Providers to make payments on your behalf, or to access your financial data, access to these services won’t be transferred automatically to your new account as part of the Current Account Switch Service.
1. Before you close your old account, check whether you have any Third Party Provider permissions set up and if so, who with.
2. Once your new account is open you can give your permission to the Third Party Provider to access your new account by providing them with your new account details. You will need to contact the Third Party Provider directly yourself to set this up.
3. If you are unsure as to whether your New Bank will support the Third Party Provider permissions on your account, you will need to discuss this ahead of your switch with your New Provider who will be able to advise you of this.
Please check your new provider’s terms and conditions for more information about Third Party Providers.
