New and existing Onedox customers can securely connect their Starling Bank app to Onedox to make it even easier to take control of their household data and finances.

You can find Onedox listed in the Starling Marketplace under the Bill Management section:

See your Onedox household data within Starling

Authorise Starling to access your Onedox account and you can see your Onedox data within the Starling app:

  • Details on your last bill received — showing the amount and who it’s from. 🧐
  • Available savings — helping you identify when you could be saving money by switching tariff or service provider.
  • Your to-do list — letting you know when there are items to take care of in your Onedox account.
  • Your health score — so you can keep it at 100% by smashing those to-dos.

Secure your Onedox account using “Login with Starling”

For new Onedox customers you can choose to create your Onedox account using Starling as an identity provider instead of Google, Facebook or email/password.

Coming soon: Using Login with Starling will also make it even easier to get started with Onedox as we can identify your existing providers from your Direct Debit mandates.

Up Next: Even more convenience

We have the following features coming soon:

  • See related Starling bank transactions in Onedox alongside associated PDF bills and your provider account information.
  • Identify who your service providers are from Direct Debit mandates and recent transactions to make it even easier to take control in Onedox.
  • Existing Onedox customers will be able to link their Starling bank app to Onedox to take advantage of these features too.

The Future: The sky’s the limit! 🚀

Future iterations of the connection could have even more exciting capabilities! How about being able to…

  • Identify when your contracts are likely to end by tracking recent transactions and Direct Debits.
  • See your actual bills as PDFs inside your Starling Bank app alongside the transactions that paid them.
  • Easily compare and switch suppliers within your bank account: to a new gas and electricity supplier, mortgage provider or faster broadband.
  • Allocate your Onedox savings into a dedicated savings pot to track how much you’ve saved on your household bills.
  • Get a new account setup in Onedox for each Direct Debit provider, enabling you to keep track of contracts, payments and subscriptions before even connecting your supplier’s online account for automatic data collection.
  • …and so much more…see our Open Banking + Open Utilities demo for a peek into what’s possible.

A bit more about the Starling Marketplace

Starling has existing partnerships with other fintechs including 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. Starling has a pipeline of scores more partners that are expected to join its Marketplace in the near future.

Anne Boden, CEO of Starling Bank, said:

“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.”

David Sheridan, CEO of Onedox, said:

“Onedox provides its customers with control over their household bills and acts like a digital PA to prevent families wasting time and money. Partnering with Starling provides scope for an ever more compelling solution, whereby consumers can begin to get a single view of what they have been charged, why they have been charged, and what action they can take to reduce what they pay.”
