Starling to open new UK office  

UK challenger bank Starling is set to open a new office in Southampton.

In Brief:

  • The office will hold 150 people, including 50 software engineers and 100 customer service staff, with the majority to be new hires.

  • Starling now has about 500,000 current account holders and 30,000 business customers.

  • CEO Anne Boden said the company is “rapidly running out of space” in its current London office.
