Digital challenger bank Starling has integrated the household bills management service Onedox into its in-app marketplace. This development enables customers to manage their household bills, receive reminders, and discover personalised opportunities to save money, all within the bank’s app.
London-based Onedox aims to transform household administration by merging disparate account details into a unified digital dashboard. This service proactively ensures customers receive competitive deals, notifies them of important contract dates, and assists in switching to better offers. David Sheridan, co-founder and CEO of Onedox, stated, “Onedox provides its customers with control over their household bills and acts like a digital PA to prevent families wasting time and money.”
Sheridan further commented on the partnership, noting that it offers a more compelling consumer solution by enabling a comprehensive view of charges and actions to reduce expenses.
The partnership announcement comes shortly after Onedox’s £750,000 crowdfunding campaign, which followed a successful £550,000 round in September 2017. Sheridan mentioned that the team expanded from four to ten members, primarily focusing on platform development and was now looking to grow customer acquisition and revenue generation.
Starling’s in-app Marketplace, launched in February 2018, provides secure access to various financial services and products. Existing collaborations include pension provider PensionBee, digital investing services Wealthsimple and Wealthify, mortgage broker Habito, travel insurance provider Kasko, life insurance provider Anorak, and receipts and loyalty partner Flux. CEO Anne Boden commented, “With the addition of Onedox to our Marketplace, we’ve taken another big step in helping our customers take control of their money. We are building a banking experience fit for the 21st Century, where the best financial products are available securely in one place.”
The integration of Onedox into the Starling app promises to deliver comprehensive household budget management, providing users with valuable tools to streamline their financial lives. This partnership exemplifies forward-thinking innovation in the banking sector.
