We believe that everyone deserves financial peace of mind, that credit should only work for you, and that tech will continue to transform the way to shop, pay and manage our spending.
Our talented and growing team is based in the UK and Spain and we're all committed to creating a diverse, fun work environment, with collaboration and the customer at the core of everything we do.
