You will then be taken to the permissions request. To connect with your bank, we need your authority to access some of the financial data that exists on your bank's side.
Note: This will only ever grant read-only access to your banking transactional data.
Once you click allow you will be redirected to your banking provider to fill in some additional information on their end. Follow the steps requested by your bank and you will be re-directed back to Starling Accounting & Tax with a live connection.
If your bank is not appearing in the list, it's likely that we do not support that bank at the present time. Please refer to the list of supported bank above.
If you are experiencing any issues connecting your bank account please reach out to our dedicated support team and we will be more than happy to assist you.
