You might have heard that earlier this month we opened our brand new Southampton office. We’re pretty excited about it, especially for the views (as pictured above). We’re now in rocket ship mode here at Starling Bank and that means we’re expanding at a rapid rate. With that in mind, the second video in our #AskStarling series is all about growth and looking ahead.

We invited our CEO Anne Boden back into the hot seat to answer all your questions on our next big steps in the months and years to come. Anne shared insights on everything from potential new markets across Europe to a wider range of account types and other areas of the finance world which we want to give the Starling treatment too.

Tune in for Anne’s take on what rocket ship mode could mean for you. And, scroll down to read a little bit more about our work internationally.

A little more on our expansion overseas

Thanks to Menno for asking this. As mentioned elsewhere, we’re already working towards an expansion into Ireland next year - we’ve just opened a Dublin office and are recruiting our first international employees, or Starlings as we call them. In Europe, we’ve set our sights on the Netherlands, France and Germany. Watch this space.

If you missed the first episode of #AskStarling, it’s easy to catch up. Anne talked all things Starling business accounts - including euro business accounts, online banking and more.
