Starling Bank expects to see profits continue to grow this year

Starling Bank Founder, Anne Boden, expects profits to quadruple this year after a successful 2022.

In brief:

-The bank saw pre-tax profits of more than £250mn and annualised revenue of almost £600mn for December 2022, with deposits hitting £10.7bn at the end of the year.

-In its first fully profitable year the bank increased its headcount by a third, reached more than 3mn accounts, more than 500,000 SMEs, and launched free virtual cards.

-Starling Bank currently holds an 8.9% share of the UK market for SME banking.

What does this mean?

Despite challenging times in the FinTech sector Starling Bank had a profitable year whilst also growing in size. “We’re profitable, very well capitalised and have no need to raise money. It’s no accident that we have never sought a silly valuation, even when the prospect of one was dangled before us,” says Boden.
