The platform that you can bank on

Through our platform we combine the benefits of being a licensed bank with modern technology to power your ability to offer banking services. You don’t need to apply for a bank license, build a banking platform or hire a banking team. Starling takes care of that.

  • Speed to Market: Our modern tech stack means you can get your products to market quickly.

  • Technology led: We’re a technology company with a banking licence meaning our tech stack is flexible, scalable and modern.

  • Licensed and future proof: It’s our job to worry about banking industry or regulatory changes, so that you don’t have to.

  • One API: Our services are all opened and managed by one simple API, through a single, seamless integration.
