It's all about building stuff – smart stuff, helpful stuff and never-been-done-before stuff – that helps our customers manage their money more easily. A fully licensed and regulated bank, Starling offers personal, business, joint and euro mobile accounts on Android and iOS. We have more than 650,000 customers, all of whom have access to our in-app Marketplace – a curated selection of third party financial services such as pensions, mortgages and insurance.
We also offer groundbreaking B2B banking and payments services as well as Banking-as-a-Service. After a distinguished career working in senior leadership at some of the world’s best-known financial heavyweights, Starling’s chief executive Anne Boden launched Starling in 2014 and built the bank from scratch. A computer scientist by training, she spotted earlier than most the opportunity for digital technology to transform the way people manage their finances.
