What’s in it for you?

No overseas fees

• We won’t charge you a penny for using your card abroad, or for withdrawing cash at an ATM.
• We’ll give you the Mastercard exchange rate, and won’t add anything on top.
• Get notifications in the local currency, and in GBP.

Better budgeting

• Get instant payment notifications and track your balance in real-time
• Learn where your money goes, and how to make savings, with Spending Insights
• Use Bills Manager to set aside money for your bills. It means your main balance will only show you what’s actually available for day-to-day spending.
• Connect to other money management tools through Starling Marketplace, such as PensionBee and Wealthify.

Save effortlessly

• Saving Spaces are like virtual piggy banks.
• They sit within your bank account, but the money’s kept separate from your main balance – so you’ll never accidentally dip into your savings.
• Personalise Spaces with pictures, set a target, and track your progress.
• Save on autopilot – round up payments to the nearest pound and put away the spare change, or set up regular payments into your Spaces.

Starling Kite for kids
