Starling Bank

Starling Bank is Britain's first digital bank, founded in 2014 by Anne Boden with a mission to fix the broken banking system. The company operates as a fully licensed, mobile-only bank with no branches, serving over four million customers across personal, business, joint, and youth accounts. Headquartered in London with offices in Cardiff, Southampton, and Manchester, Starling has grown to employ thousands of people who are committed to delivering fast technology, fair service, and honest values. The bank holds Which? Recommended Provider status and has been named Britain's Best Banking Brand for seven consecutive years.

Beyond direct banking services, Starling provides its proprietary technology platform to other financial institutions through Engine by Starling, a software-as-a-service subsidiary. The bank is distinguished by its commitment to responsible banking, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and industry-leading security features. As a woman-founded company, Starling actively promotes gender equality with 43% of senior managers being women and participation in the Women in Finance Charter. The bank's values extend to environmental responsibility through sustainable banking practices, carbon reduction initiatives, and partnerships focused on climate action.
