About us: 

We’re here to make money work for everyone and we're doing things differently. For too long, banking has been obtuse, complex and opaque.

We want to change that and build a bank with everyone, for everyone. Our amazing community suggests features, test the app and give us constant feedback so we can build something everyone loves.

• Identifying use cases for automation, self-service and potential deployment of artificial intelligence, to help us scale
• Escalating, managing and reporting control issues with transparency and creating a positive risk culture.

• You’re an exceptional Quality Assurance leader (Tech or FinTech experience would be beneficial)
