Our mission

Banking belongs in business software

Many software companies already serve small businesses incredibly well: helping them send invoices, run payroll, manage inventory, and more. They’re on a mission to become the central hub for managing every aspect of business life.

But when it comes to financial workflows, there’s still a gap. Too many critical tasks like managing cash flow, tracking payments, or reconciling accounts happen outside the software, across spreadsheets, email threads, banking portals.

It’s a missed opportunity. Business software shouldn’t just record financial activity — it should run it.

Job Description

Attached to the AML team and working closely with the Risk and Operations teams, your primary responsibility will be to proactively monitor clients' transactional activities to protect the company against fraudulent activities, money laundering risks, financial risks, and reputation risks.

✨ Your mission

  • Process alerts related to various transactions (cards, SEPA transactions, and international transactions) across various client types (individual accounts, freelancers, businesses).

  • Manage communication with end-clients and partners when suspicious activity is detected to gather supporting documentation.

  • Analyze and address customer requests that may be victims of fraud.

  • Handle external legal requests sent by the authorities or banking partners.

  • Participate in detecting trends and report them to 2nd line to improve our scoring rules.

  • Effective communication with internal and external stakeholders.

  • Curious mindset and flexibility to adapt to changing requirements in an evolving environment.

  • You have excellent working abilities in English.

  • Our ideal teammate: Empathetic. Skilled. Frank. We love to challenge each other, and we leave our egos at the door.

It’s okay if you don’t tick all the boxes — don’t let imposter syndrome prevent you from applying!
