"Switched from my high-street bank two years ago and never looked back. No fees, instant notifications, and transfers clear the same day. Customer service actually picks up the phone."

"The card freeze feature saved me when I thought I'd lost my card. Froze it in seconds from my phone, found the card, unfroze it. Seamless. The spending analytics are eye-opening too."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Starling Bank safe?
Yes. Starling Bank is fully authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). Your deposits are protected by the FSCS up to £85,000. We use 256-bit encryption and all large transfers go through a compliance review before settlement.
Are there any monthly fees?
No. Starling Bank personal current accounts are completely free with no monthly fees. There are no charges for UK transfers, receiving money, or holding an account. Some business account features may have fees — contact us for details.
How do international transfers work?
International transfers require the recipient's full name, address, bank name, IBAN, and SWIFT/BIC code. All international transfers go through our compliance review team before funds are released. This typically takes 1–2 business days. You'll receive a notification and downloadable receipt when approved.
Why do some transfers need approval?
To protect our customers from fraud, all international transfers and local transfers over £1,000 go through a compliance review before funds are released. Your balance is reserved during this time. This is standard practice for regulated banks and protects you from unauthorised transactions.
How do I apply for a personal loan?
Log in to your account, go to the Loans section in the bottom navigation, and click "Apply for Loan". Choose your amount (£500–£25,000) and repayment term. All loan applications are reviewed by our team before disbursement. You'll be notified of the decision within 24 hours.
How do I contact customer support?
You can reach us by email at info@starlingfinance.com or by phone at +1 913 434 3765. Our support team is available Monday to Friday 8am–8pm. You can also use the chat button at the bottom-right of this page.
