Overview
- Starling publicly rolled out the smart tools on Thursday, August 20, 2026, and made Rainy Day Saver and Fraud Control available as the first skills.
- Rainy Day Saver analyses a customer’s income, direct debits and spending to set up realistic regular transfers into a dedicated savings Space.
- Fraud Control lets customers enable protections such as Snatch-Theft Detector, Call Status Indicator and the bank’s Scam Intelligence image analysis.
- The smart tools are delivered through the Starling Assistant, which accepts natural language and voice prompts and can carry out actions on behalf of customers.
- Starling developed the programme from internal engineering practices that codified routine tasks into reusable ‘skills’ and plans a weekly, feedback-driven rollout that could increase uptake and change how customers manage money and taxes.
