United Kingdom-based digital bank Starling expects to go public within one to two years, the company CEO Anne Boden said on Tuesday.
According to Boden, the company backed by Goldman Sachs, Fidelity Investments and Qatar’s sovereign wealth is "one or two years away" from an IPO, which is most likely to happen in London, where Starling is headquartered.
"I think that London would be the default option unless we’re persuaded otherwise," Boden said. Starling's main start-up competitors include Monzo and Revolut, both of which are still private.
