Anne Boden is a most unusual banker. After a distinguished 30-year career in traditional banking, including as chief operating officer of Allied Irish Bank, she set out to build her own mobile-only bank from scratch in 2014 and raised $70 million of funding. She is determined that Starling Bank, a London-based tech startup with a British banking licence, will help change the face of the industry by putting customers back in control of their finances. Starling offers personal and business current accounts, available via its app and built on its proprietary technology.
