Just arrived:
Apple Pay for iOS

Payments just got easier for our iOS customers. Starling Bank is the first to enable you to load your debit card to your Apple Wallet within the app — simply go to the Card Management screen to add. And soon, for new customers signing up, you won’t even need to receive your physical card to start spending. Use it wherever you see the Apple Pay or Contactless logos, on and offline. Just so you know, the most you can pay is £500, with some retailers having a payment limit to £30.

Spending Insights is your fast track to clarity. Featuring both an overview and breakdown of your everyday spending habits, view your payments by either category or merchant — it’s completely up to you. Either way, it’ll help you make better financial decisions and identify where there might be room for improvement. It might even help you save for something great. Someone say city break?

Whether you’ve paid a bar tab or a barista, keeping track of your money is easier when it’s right in front of you. The Pulse updates in real time so that you can avoid those awkward mid-month surprises; if you’ve spent it, you’ll see it (straight away, no funny business).

Wish you could be kept in the loop about your spending, as it happens? Real-time notifications keep track, even when you’re not. We’ll send you updates about what you’ve spent in real time so you’re never in the dark.

It’s your card, so we think it makes sense for you to be in control of it. If you think you’ve lost your debit card, don’t panic — just lock it in app while you look for it and then unlock it when you find it. Crisis averted.
