What We Do
We're making digital payments safer and easier for everyone.
Come and help us build financial infrastructure for developers and seamless products for consumers.
We started with a consumer product that reimagines the way people and businesses spend money online using ephemeral payment card numbers. Last year we launched an API on top of our transaction processing and core banking infrastructure. We made it available to other engineers, entrepreneurs, and creators through a simple, developer first API that is now used by some of the most innovative startups, fintech companies, and neobanks.
Why Work With Us
Our team is at the center of everything we do. But we know that work isn't everything, we value work life balance and quality benefits. We strive to be a place where you know your ideas are always heard, you and your teammates learn from each other and make each other better, and you know your work is impacting users and the industry at large.
