How It All Started

We did this before. We spent years at the convergence of payments, lending as well as collections.

Diversity
Having always led diverse teams, we set out to recruit the best, regardless of where they come from. We have been an international team from day one - striving for gender equality and continued diversity - we gain strength and enjoyment from the mix.

Remote
Our aim is to be a fully remote team, unattached to one location. We believe in having a life outside of the office, and at times, a commute can severely cut into that.

Collaboration
Nevertheless, we do our best to get our team together regularly to allow for in-person interaction. It is all about balance: family, work, life, culture, and diversity.

OUR Values

We strive for ownership, transparency and accountability

Better As A Team

We will communicate as much as possible because it's the lifeblood of a remote company. We won't just work on things that are assigned to us. We never pass up an opportunity to help out our colleagues.

Evolve Constantly

Strive for excellence. Challenge existing ideas and processes. We prefer someone who is motivated to grow in their role versus those set in their ways. Fail fast, learn and share.

Behave Like Owners

Getting things done resonates loudly throughout our team. We are accountable and accept responsibility. We do not fear making mistakes as long as we learn from them.

Move The Needle

We bias towards action, even when faced with uncertainty and the risk of picking the wrong course. Break rules, not laws. Fight for what you stand behind.

Brutal Honesty

We are transparent in all things we do. We admit it when we don't know. We listen, ask questions, pay attention and seek to understand before reacting.

Customer Champions

We always strive to exceed client expectations. We know clients are our greatest cheerleaders in the market, and we build our technology to drive their customers' outcomes.
