It's taken quite a long time, but Starling have joined the party and launched a 'refer a friend' offer. New users will get £25 for joining, and the person who referred them will also get £25.
This is a pretty rare one, so let's get straight into the breakdown of how it works.
Here's how to get your free £25:
1) Download the Starling app from the iOS App Store (for iPhone users) or from Google Play (if you use Android).
2) Sign up for a new Starling account. You must be a new customer, and never had a Starling account in the past to be eligible.
3) You'll see an option to enter a referral code, use this one: VVDKB86
3) Within 30 days of joining, you must set up a Direct Debit on your new Starling bank account. You can't cancel the Direct Debit before receiving the free cash, or else you'll lose the offer (as per their Ts&Cs).
TIP: Make sure you deposit enough cash into your new Starling account to cover the Direct Debit! It must be paid out successfully within 30 days of joining to qualify.
You can use our 30 Pence Direct Debit Service to qualify, it's the cheapest direct debit available in the UK.
4) Your free £25 will be paid into your new Starling account within 30 days of meeting the above eligibility criteria.
