Starling Bank has announced it will open its new Manchester location at Barings’ Landmark.
The move comes after the digital bank revealed it would create up to 1,000 new jobs in the city as part of its expansion in the North.
Starling already employs 2,500 people in London, Cardiff, Southampton, and Dublin.
The bank, which recorded its first full year of profitability in 2022, says that it has opened an office in Manchester for its “deep pool” of FinTech talent.
The city reportedly has the largest regional FinTech ecosystem in the UK.
“Manchester is one of the most important tech hubs in the UK,” said Anne Boden, founder at Starling Bank. “London’s success as a global FinTech hub enables it to spread wealth and jobs throughout the UK and the wider economy. That’s exactly what we’re doing with this office in Manchester.”
The bank, which reached its three million account milestone last year, said that it is recruiting across a number of roles, including operations; software engineering; data science; cyber security; and customer service.
