Starling Bank’s chief executive is reported to be stepping down after roughly two years in the role. Both outlets say the change is being handled through succession planning by the UK digital bank.
The Financial Times reports that CEO Raman Bhatia told the board he no longer wanted to run the fintech, and frames the decision as part of Starling’s preparation for leadership continuity. Sifted similarly reports that the CEO is set to step down after only two years, though it provides fewer details in the material available here. Overall, coverage agrees on the timing and the fact of the CEO’s departure, while differing on the emphasis placed on board communication versus the broader succession context.
