Lower fees

Another main reason to use Starling Bank is the low (or no!) fees. Starling Bank has no physical branches, therefore they can offer lower fees than traditional banks – especially when it comes to ATM withdrawals, money exchange/transfer and payments abroad. For example, Starling Bank offers zero fees on all transactions, including purchases made overseas!

Makes traveling easier

Starling Bank = borderless banking. Low/no exchange rates and low/no ATM withdrawal fees worldwide make traveling a whole lot easier (and cheaper) than with traditional banks- especially in the eurozone. And for added safety, freeze or unfreeze your debit card while you travel, directly in the app.
