Compare Starling current accounts

Starling is a fully licensed UK bank, so eligible deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme up to £85,000 per person, the same protection you would get with a traditional high street bank.

As an app-based bank, Starling also offers strong security features such as in-app card freezing, spending notifications and biometric login to help keep your account safe.

Starling is a member of the Current Account Switch Service, so you can move your banking across from within the app. Once you apply and choose a switch date, your direct debits, standing orders and payments are transferred automatically within seven working days.

Because Starling has no branches, the whole process is handled digitally, which many customers find quick and convenient.
