A bank account for 16 and 17 year olds

Pay for stuff

• Instant payment notifications, so you know every penny that comes in and goes out.
• Spending Insights, so you can see where you’re spending and where you might want to cut back a bit.
• Clothes, tech, trips – whatever’s on your shopping list, make saving easier with Spaces.
• You can use your debit card anywhere you see the Mastercard logo - online, in shops and at cash machines. You can also use your card in the UK and abroad.*

*You won’t be able to use your card for things that have an age restriction, for example in casinos, or on betting and gambling websites. We also block some shops and businesses that sell age-restricted items such as alcohol.

Peace of mind

• Starling’s a proper, regulated bank, so your money is protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
• Think you’ve lost your card somewhere? Don’t worry, just lock (and unlock) it in the app.
• When you turn 18, we’ll turn your teen account into a personal current account. You can continue using the same card, but we'll remove any blocks on age-restricted merchants.
