Does Starling Business serve business customers in Switzerland?

No. Starling offers business accounts to companies registered at Companies House in the United Kingdom, and every director and person of significant control must be a United Kingdom resident.

Eligibility for businesses in Switzerland

Because Starling requires a United Kingdom company registration and United Kingdom resident controllers, along with a United Kingdom mobile number for registration, a company based in Switzerland does not qualify. Verify with the provider
