Who’s Eligible For A Starling Business Bank Account?

To open any Starling account, you must be a UK resident – but with our business account, you must also be one of the following:

You’re the owner of a limited company, and you’re the only person with significant control (PSC) over it.
You’re the PSC of a limited company or LLP with multiple owners. With our multi-PSC account, you and your fellow PSCs will each get a Mastercard debit card and access to a beautifully simple mobile bank account. Please note that all PSCs registered at Companies House need to be UK resident individuals (i.e. no corporate shareholders). They can only provide access to the account if you’re a director registered at Companies House and a UK resident. For more information, read our blog post titled: ‘Introducing: Multi-owner mobile business accounts for limited companies‘.
You’re self-employed. Our sole trader account is available exclusively to those who already have a Starling Bank personal account.
Entities engaged in or linked in any way to, certain activities may not be able to open or have a business bank account with Starling. Check our Business Current Account Terms for more information.
