More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own. We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,300 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do.

You'll thrive here if • You have a track record of hitting your numbers, and you’re motivated by stretch goals. • You own the outcome and you don't wait for permission to fix what's broken. • You're comfortable with ambiguity. Give you a problem, not a prescription, and you'll run with it. • You communicate clearly and directly across cultures, and you're thoughtful about how context shifts meaning across borders. • You value in-person collaboration and are happy being in the office three days a week.
