British digital bank Starling, backed by Goldman Sachs, is planning its first expansion outside of Europe into the Asia-Pacific market. The bank is in talks with an Asian bank to take its Engine banking-as-a-service platform into a country in Asia, focusing on providing small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) accounts. Starling's Engine platform enables banks to develop their digital banking services, such as checking accounts and loans, without having to build the technology themselves. Starling has already established itself in the UK market, with over 3.6 million customers and more than 510,000 SME customers.
