How Starling’s different

No hassle

Cancel or lock misplaced cards, deposit cheques, change address, make payments with a tap and get support 24/7 – all from the bank branch in your pocket.

Our personal bank accounts are free and we won’t charge you for using your card abroad. We make any charges - say for sending money internationally - clear in the app and on our pricing page.
