For decades, most banks have transformed around the edges. But customer expectations, emerging technologies, and regulatory pressures are now demanding something deeper—transformation, delivered at pace. 

That's where Engine comes in. Built entirely in-house at Starling Bank, Engine is a modular, API-based, cloud-native banking platform ready to scale. It gives financial services organisations everything needed to run a feature-rich, cost-effective digital bank, replacing what once took months of configuration with set-ups that can happen in days. 

But technology alone isn't enough. Through their global strategic alliance, PwC and Engine by Starling combine Engine's platform with PwC's deep industry expertise, regulatory knowledge, and global network. Together, they help banks navigate the complexity of foundational change. Fast transformation that’s low cost and low risk.  

The outcomes are clear. Engine now operates on four continents and can deliver large change programmes in 12 months. 

In the video, leaders from PwC and Engine by Starling share what makes the partnership work, why now is the time for foundational change, and how the right combination of technology, expertise, and ambition is accelerating banking reinvention worldwide.
