52 minutes ago | 636 views | 0The former chief operating officer of Allied Irish Bank, Anne Boden, is planning to launch a new digital-only bank in the UK next year, under the name Starling. Boden introduced the concept at a British Bankers Association conference earlier this week, telling the audience that the new challenger bank would be more like Facebook or Google than a traditional high street bank. "The music industry has been transformed by iTunes, retailing by Amazon, but banking hasn’t changed its approach in a long time," Boden told delegates. "The same simple services traditionally offered in branches have just moved online and into apps. Empowered, tech-savvy consumers want and deserve more from their banks, they want easy, intelligent banking, not just mobile versions of paper statements."
