Speaking at Money20/20 Europe, head of banking services at Starling Bank, Julian Sawyer, said: “Starling’s Banking Services continues its growth through our partnership with Tribe. Providing innovative businesses access to cutting-edge banking – both cards and bank to bank payments.”

Starling focuses solely on the digital experience of its customers. It’s products include, saving tools, security management and joint accounts.

Furthermore, Starling was the first challenger bank to be a direct member of the Faster Payments Service. It is also the only banking provider of real-time access to Faster Payments through APIs in the transaction banking world.

CEO of Tribe Payments, Suresh Vaghjiani, commented: “In the Open Banking era, connectivity is king. Consumers want to choose how they pay and get paid and in real-time, with all the functionality of a full bank account. Banks, fintechs and payment providers have lacked access to these tools, with legacy systems resulting in complex integrations, delays and unreliable services. With Starling’s Banking Services, we can offer our customers the connectivity and tools to deliver powerful payment experiences via a single API.”
