Our take
Engine by Starling emerges as a solution to the age-old challenge plaguing traditional banking systems: outdated infrastructure. The banking landscape is littered with legacy systems, hindering innovation, agility, and customer-centricity. Engine steps in to disrupt this by offering a cloud-native banking platform.
Firstly, it provides a suite of technology that forms the backbone of digital banking, enabling clients to pick solutions tailored to their needs. Secondly, Engine adopts a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, diverging from conventional banking strategies. This move democratises access to cutting-edge banking technology, cutting through geographical barriers and fostering global financial inclusivity.
Engine's trajectory is poised for expansion and dominance in the financial technology arena, with the CEO claiming it can be bigger than Starling. As it continues to catalyse digital transformation across traditional banking institutions, Engine is set to become a pivotal player in the industry.
