A new kind of bank account

Starling is the bank that lives on your phone; a mobile current account built to give you more control over your money.

Here’s what to expect from the Best British Bank 2019:

• Get set up in minutes. No paperwork, monthly fees or branch visits; apply for your free Starling account in just minutes.
• Take control of your money. With real-time payment notifications and a breakdown of your monthly spending habits.
• Borrow money in a better way. We’ve designed a personal loan that’s straightforward to use, competitively priced and tailored to you.
• Easy payback. Pay people or get paid back with a tap using Settle Up or Pay Nearby if they’re close by – no card readers or sort codes required!
• Lock your card. Card gone missing? Lock it in-app temporarily while you look for it – or cancel it with a tap if you think it’s gone for good.
• Send money abroad. Fast and secure money transfers to bank accounts in 38 countries worldwide.
• Fee-free spending. Use your card to spend abroad with no extra costs from us and free ATM withdrawals up to £300 per day (local charges may apply).
