The primary record
Start with the final notice, identify the precise entity and read the relevant period and legal basis. The press announcement is a route into the document, not a replacement for its qualifications.
What an operations team can ask
How does a growing business show that the complete customer population enters the intended financial crime controls?
Keep growth, control coverage, data quality and remediation testing in the same evidence file. This is an editorial question prompted by the notice, not a claim about Starling’s current controls. The source discusses historical findings and remedial work; this page is not a current counterparty assessment.
