Starling Bank Business Banking Services

Current Accounts

The Starling current account can be managed on desktop and on mobile, wherever you are, 24 hours a day. You can review and track payments and incoming cash in real-time, pay physical cash into your account through the Post Office (costs £3 each time), and categorise expenses to keep them organised.

If you already have a personal Starling account, you can easily switch between business and individual banking.

There’s no monthly fee and very few charges, other than for paying in and withdrawing through the Post Office.

Savings account

An individual savings account isn’t available, but you can use your Starling current account to create savings goals and keep money in separate ‘pots’.

Overdrafts

Business overdrafts are available up to £10,000. You can manage the limit directly from the app. Interest is charged at 15% EAR, which accrues on a daily basis. There’s no fee for setting up an arranged or unarranged overdraft.
