An awe-inspiring story of how one woman took on the financial establishment and founded the fast-growing digital bank, Starling

After a lengthy career at the top of some of Britain's leading Banks, Anne Boden had become disillusioned with the status quo - the financial crash had broken trust in the whole sector and there seemed to be little appetite to make most of emerging technologies to revolutionise customer experience. Increasingly frustrated with the inertia, she decided to do something radical - she set up her own bank, Starling.

In BANKING ON IT, Anne reveals the awe-inspiring story of how she broke through bureaucracy, tackled prejudice and successfully countered widespread suspicion to realise her vision for the future of consumer banking and, in doing so, trigger a new movement that would revolutionise the entire banking industry.

Reviews for Banking On It: How I Disrupted an Industry and Changed the Way We Manage our Money Forever

A riveting read. I couldn't put it down! Boden's story powerfully demonstrates how creativity, bravery and determination can quite literally transform an industry. Wow, what a change-maker! * Rachel Botsman, author of Who Can You Trust? * A thrilling account of entrepreneurship, ingenuity and innovation. * Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia and author of Flying High * Welsh, 5ft, female and fiftysomething: when Anne Boden decided to launch a new challenger bank she seemed like neither the typical staid financier nor the archetypal fintech founder. Her creation was the successful startup Starling, but as this tell-all book outlines it was not an easy birth. -- Rosamund Urwin * The Times Best Business Books of 2020 * Sent shockwaves through the tight-knit world of UK tech and venture capital * Yahoo! Finance * A banking blockbuster * The Observer Magazine * If there was ever a business book suitable for TV adaptation, this is it. -- Claer Barrett * Financial Times *
