About us
Hello, we’re Starling. Banking was broken – so we decided to fix it. The vision? Fast technology, fair service and honest values. All at the tap of a phone, all the time. We built Britain’s first digital bank. One hard-won banking licence later, we set about giving people a new way to spend, save and manage their money (and take better care of the planet, too). We’re changing banking for good. Back then, we were obsessed with unravelling the knotty world of finance and solving people’s problems rather than selling them stuff. We still are. Since then, we’ve grown. A lot. Over four million accounts (and four account types!). A team of thousands. Headquartered in London with offices in Cardiff, Dublin, Manchester and Southampton. Five years voted Which? Recommended Provider and Britain's Best Banking Brand. Still zero branches. Our culture is open, inclusive and focused on solving real customer problems, with an emphasis on doing the right thing, even when it’s not always the easy thing. From our approach to working together and sustainability to how we build our products, our decisions need to make the world – and Starling – a better place to be. Everyone at Starling is essential to our mission, which is really quite simple: to solve our customer’s problems – and build the best bank in the world! And now we're providing Starling to other banks, via a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) proposition through our subsidiary Engine, using the proprietary technology platform that it uses to power our own bank.

AI can clone just about anyone’s voice. And scammers can then use a cloned voice to fool just about anyone. The tech is really that advanced, it’s even fooled James Nesbitt! In support of the Home Office’s ‘Stop! Think Fraud’ campaign, we’re on a mission to help you stay safe from voice cloning. This is where a Safe Phrase comes in – a sure and easy way to verify if the person you’re speaking to is really who they say they are. Want to know how to create one?

Next in For What It’s Worth, we’re talking overseas weddings. For this person, they’ve had to weigh up RSVPs with childcare costs – and it’s been tricky to balance both. How many weddings did you tally up this year, and were any of these abroad? Ouch – we feel you! According to 2024 research from Aviva, people spent an average of £978 attending a ‘destination wedding’ last year. Of the 2,000 people surveyed, almost 20% said that they felt obliged to attend when asked why they decided to go. Did they manage them all? Read on via the link in the comments.
