Fast-expanding digital bank Starling has seen its Cardiff operation swell to nearly 900 staff – far exceeding initial job creation forecasts.
The fintech venture, which now has three million customers in the UK and is likely to float on the London Stock Exchange over the next two years, originally committed to creating 400 jobs when unveiling its office investment in the city– at Brunel House– back in 2020.
That has now swelled to 868– an increase of 117% on the initial business plan– with staff drawn from across the Cardiff Capital Region and beyond. And it is currently recruiting for more staff.
