Description

Starling is the UK's first and leading digital bank on a mission to fix banking Our vision is fast technology, fair service, and honest values.

All at the tap of a phone, all the time.

We are about giving customers a new way to spend, save and manage their money while taking better care of the planet which has seen us become a multi-award winning bank that now employs over 2,500 across five offices in London, Cardiff, Dublin, Southampton, and Manchester.

Our journey started in 2014, and since then, we have surpassed three million accounts (and four account types) with 350,000 business customers.
