We are a leading digital bank on a mission to disrupt the banking industry. We've built an app with smart money management tools to help our customers live a healthier financial life.

Our customer service department is at the core of our success. As the point of contact for our customers, being able to respond to their needs in an efficient and timely manner is what helps set us apart from the competition.

As our customer numbers continue to grow, so does our need to hire fantastic people to serve them. Our customer service team members are our greatest asset - representing Starling to the people that rely on us to help manage their financial lives. We don’t silo you into one particular area, so the queries you deal with will be wide ranging, from the simple to the complex.

Everyone at Starling gets the chance to own interesting things from day one, and we’re told one of the best things about working here is the ability to achieve a lot in a short space of time.
