Starling Bank Offers £3,000 Annual Prize for Salary Customers

Starling Bank Offers £3,000 Annual Prize for Salary Customers. The bank is encouraging customers to switch salary accounts to its personal current accounts by offering eligible customers the chance to win £3,000 a year. Through its monthly salary prize draw, the UK digital bank selects 10 winners, each receiving £250 per month for 12 consecutive months.

The promotion gives customers another reason to receive their regular income through Starling. Customers can transfer their banking arrangements through the Current Account Switch Service (CASS) or update their payroll details directly with their employers.

Customers can switch their salary to Starling Bank in two ways. The first option uses the Current Account Switch Service, which transfers eligible payments and banking arrangements from an existing account.

Customers must open a Starling personal current account, access the account menu in the app, and select ‘Switch to Starling‘. They then provide their existing bank details. The service typically completes the switch within seven working days, transfers the account balance and payment instructions, and closes the old account.

Alternatively, customers can update their payroll details directly. They can provide their Starling sort code and account number to their employer’s human resources or payroll department. This allows the employer to send future salary payments to the new account.

Customers should consider their employer’s payroll processing deadlines before switching close to payday. Informing the payroll department directly can also help prevent payment delays.

Starling Bank requires participants to meet specific eligibility conditions before entering its monthly prize draw. Entrants must be UK residents aged 18 or older and hold an open Starling personal current account.

They must also receive an eligible salary payment directly into that account via the BACS payment system. The stated minimum qualifying salary is £1,500 per month. Eligible customers must explicitly opt in through the link or form provided in Starling‘s promotional communications or on its website. Receiving a qualifying salary does not automatically guarantee entry.

The bank randomly selects 10 winners each month. Each eligible entrant receives one entry per calendar month, with no additional entries available for purchase. Customers remain in the draw until they win.

Each winner receives £250 for 12 consecutive months. Starling does not pay the prize as a single lump sum. The first payment arrives within 30 days of the draw, and winners must keep their personal current accounts open throughout the payment period.

The bank aims to contact winners by the last working day of each month via an in-app message or email. Winners may also need to verify their identity, age, and address.
