What is Engine?

About Engine

Engine by Starling is the world-class technology behind Starling Bank. A flexible, cloud-native SaaS platform, Engine is a complete digital banking solution designed for the modern era. Built for speed and scale, Engine is helping banks around the world rethink how they operate. Created by banking experts, we partner with institutions to launch new products, modernize legacy systems, and build truly digital-first experiences, making Engine far more than just a core banking platform.

Growth

Why work at Engine?

We reshaped banking in the UK with Starling. Now, we’re on a mission to radically transform the global financial landscape, starting with a major commitment to North America.

We aren't just visiting; we’re planting roots. With a dedicated headquarters in New York and a growing presence in Toronto, we’re making a significant investment into our North American footprint to help the region’s 4,000+ banks and credit unions break free from the constraints of legacy tech.

With our bank-built DNA, Engine has the stability and long-term vision that extends beyond a typical start-up. We understand the complexities of the industry because we’ve lived them. Starling’s award-winning success and profitability means you’ll join a team with the expertise of banking experts, the solid foundation of an established institution, and innovation of a leading fintech.

Our momentum is already building. We’ve recently partnered with Tangerine Bank, Canada’s leading digital bank, to migrate their core systems to Engine. This 10-year agreement is a massive milestone for us, proving that our bank-built tech can supercharge the experience for millions of North American customers.
