Starling is a UK-based digital bank, disrupting the financial services industry. Founded in 2014 by Anne Boden, it was granted a banking licence by the Bank of England in July 2016 and launched its first mobile personal current account in May 2017 available as a mobile app for both iOS and Android phones. It launched the UK’s first digital business bank account in March 2018. The Starling Marketplace provides customers with in-app access to a curated selection of third party financial services. Starling also offers groundbreaking B2B banking and payments services.
At Starling Banking Services, we want to help financial services thrive. By providing organisations – FinTechs, credit unions, insurance dispersers, investment companies, and point of sale companies – with payment solutions, we’re opening up the world of cloud-based, cutting-edge banking so that more customers can benefit from better financial tools.
The services we offer run on the same technology used to power Starling Bank – it’s robust, reliable and always evolving. In our books, if you’re standing still, you’re sinking. Our APIs are world-class, as are our connections to the UK’s payment rails: Faster Payments, Bacs and inbound CHAPS. All clients are regulated within the UK and each recognises the value of fast, slick payments and processes for their customers.
