Check our latest exchange rate.
We use Mastercard’s exchange rate, which you can check on the go by heading to the Payments tab in your Starling app.
Unlike some banks, we pass this rate directly onto you, without sneaky fees or extra charges. But heads up: some card machines and ATMs may still charge their own fee.
