We use Mastercard’s exchange rate and don’t add anything on top. All Banks are now required to show the European Central Bank (ECB) published exchange rate and any additional fees or charges. This is to help you compare exchange rates between Banks and decide the best deal for you in a fair and transparent way.
That’s right, we don’t charge fees at ATMs — but unfortunately some ATM owners overseas do, which is out of our control.
When you use your Starling card, you’ll receive a notification from us in pound sterling and the foreign currency of the country you’re in. You can also use the Currency Calculator below to work out the daily Mastercard and ECB rate used, every day up to a year before... We won’t charge you for spending your money overseas so you can guarantee that you’ll get the best price. Just a heads up, some ATM providers may charge their own fee.
