Starling Bank is the original digital challenger bank which shook up the industry. Formed in 2014 by founder Anne Boden, Starling has developed a reputation as one of the most ethical banks around, from using recycled debit cards to turning down investments based on moral direction. You can’t visit a Starling Bank branch, though, as they don’t exist. Everything’s done online and through the app.
As one of the leading digital banks, does Starling Bank have a strong switch bonus in place for newcomers?
Is Starling Bank currently running a switching offer?
There is no switching offer at Starling Bank at the moment, but there is a modest referral scheme.
When you successfully get a friend or family member to sign up, you’ll get a National Trust day pass. You can use it to visit World Heritage sites, parks, castles and more across the UK.
Here’s how to claim your National Trust day pass:
In the Starling Bank app, go to your profile and select ‘Refer a friend’
Tap ‘Share referral link’
Send it to your friend or family member
Once their account is approved, you’ll each receive a free National Trust day pass
What switching offers have been available in the past?

Starling Bank may not have branches, but it has plenty of trees thanks to its involvement in the Trillion Trees scheme.
Launched in October 2020, a previous refer-a-friend scheme at Starling Bank saw a new tree planted for every successful referral. Told you Starling was all about the ethics. By the time the scheme finished in early 2023, Starling Bank had proudly funded 100,000 new trees being planted.

We show offers we can track - that's not every product on the market...yet. Unless we've said otherwise, products are in no particular order. The terms "best", "top", "cheap" (and variations of these) aren't ratings, though we always explain what's great about a product when we highlight it. This is subject to our terms of use. When you make major financial decisions, consider getting independent financial advice. Always consider your own circumstances when you compare products so you get what's right for you. Most of the data in Finder's comparison tables has the source: Moneyfacts Group PLC. In other cases, Finder has sourced data directly from providers.
