Starling Bank Address: What to Put on a Form

Starling Bank Address: What to Put on a Form

If a form is asking for the Starling Bank bank address, here is the answer to copy:

5th Floor, London Fruit and Wool Exchange, 1 Duval Square, London E1 6PW

That is the registered office, and it works for every Starling Bank account on any form: payroll, Direct Debit, or an international transfer. Starling has no branches, so the only address your account has is the company's registered office, and it is a more memorable one than most: the old London Fruit and Wool Exchange.

🏦 What to put for bank address

You probably don't need it

Your employer does not need it

Payroll runs on BACS, which routes on sort code and account number only. The address box is a hangover from paper forms. If it will not let you submit without one, put your bank's registered office below: nobody checks it, and it cannot misroute your wages.

Starling Bank has no branches, so there is no branch address to give. Where a form asks for one, the registered office is the address to use.

Registered offices taken from each bank’s own website in August 2026: check Starling Bank’s current details. Registered offices do change, and a few banks use a separate correspondence address for post, so use this to fill a form rather than to send anything valuable. Nothing you select here is sent anywhere.


Why this address, and not a branch

Starling Bank Ltd is registered at the London Fruit and Wool Exchange, 1 Duval Square, London E1 6PW. It reads like a market stall and trips up form-fillers who assume they have the wrong details. That is genuinely the address; put it in with confidence.

Starling Bank has no branches, so there is no branch address to hunt for: the registered office is the only address the bank has, and it is the right one for every form.

When the form actually needs it

Most of the time it does not. A UK payment (wages, a Direct Debit, a bank transfer) is routed using your sort code and account number, and nothing else. The address box is a leftover from paper mandates, and where it is mandatory, the registered office satisfies it without any risk of misrouting.

The exception is a payment from abroad. SWIFT transfers genuinely use a bank address alongside your IBAN and BIC. For a payment from abroad, Starling's app shows your IBAN and BIC under Account details. Give the sender the registered office as the bank address alongside those.

One caution that catches people out: if the form is a loan, credit or rental application, read the label again, because that address field usually means your address, the one being checked against the electoral roll and your credit file. And at an online checkout, an address field means your card's billing address: entering the bank's address there will fail the check and decline the payment.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Fruit and Wool Exchange really Starling's address?

Yes. Starling's registered office is the redeveloped London Fruit and Wool Exchange building in Spitalfields. Unusual name, correct address.

What do I put if the form asks for a branch name too?

Starling Bank has no branches. Write "head office" or repeat the registered office; no UK form process fails on this, because the field is decorative.
