Five pillars. One promise

Underpinned by values, authentic employee experience, and consistent leadership behaviour.

Delivering transparent, competitive pay and comprehensive benefits that actively recognise and reward performance.

Our values

Ten principles that shape how we work, how we lead, and how we treat each other - every single day.

Integrity

"Go barefoot on the straight and narrow"

Authenticity and honesty should be our constant guides. Don't be economical with the truth. Speak with clarity. Act with courage.

Collective wisdom

"We dance better together"

We cannot achieve greatness as individuals. We are a team, a tribe, together for a common purpose. We have strength in diversity and encourage open debate, harnessing the energy and skills of the collective, directed by those most qualified to do so.

Entrepreneurial spirit

"Blaze new trails"

We don't just want to win the game, we want to change the game. That requires us to push ourselves further than we thought possible, to seek and relish discomfort, and to dream big.

Ownership

"Call for the ball"

Empower yourself by recognising you always have the capacity to make a positive impact. Take accountability whether it's your direct responsibility or not. Don't complain, don't blame.

Bias To Action

"Walk Slow, Run Fast"

Don't sit on the fence. Don't hesitate, but do understand the landscape before you move. Observe, learn, plan with rigor, then move with urgency, focus and precision; testing, adapting and improving as you go. Be proud of what you do.

Resilience

"Walk Slow, Run Fast"

Every day we start with the same commitment, energy and belief as if we are at the beginning. We find our destination in our journey. The many small steps we take lead to the leaps that will make us successful. If we never give up, we can never lose.

Empathy

"Walk in someone else's shoes"

Be open, be curious. Listen and learn be it from customers or from colleagues. Empathy is much of what makes us human and creates a culture of care and trust.

Customer first

"Stand for your customer"

The customer defines our purpose. How and where we serve differentiates us. There is joy in service. Wherever possible we are physically present. We are where our customers are.

Efficiency

"Every Step Counts"

We embrace technology to make us as efficient as possible. We also think differently to build products that make our customers' lives better. We find the straightest, most practical path to get there and not the winding, theoretical one.

Meritocracy

"Recognise results, not roles"

We believe in equality of opportunity not outcome. Fairness is about giving people what they deserve not giving everyone the same. The culture is one of performance and results orientation. Performance earns opportunity. We are a commercial enterprise, the customer is our purpose, but profit is our propulsion. We will attract the best and we will reward excellence.

Our day to day

One company, three divisionsPersonal, Merchant, and Enterprise each operate in their own right — with their own customers, challenges, and teams. What connects them is a shared belief that financial access should work for everyone, everywhere.

Location flexibilityWe operate across five countries. Most roles are location-specific — we show up where our customers are. Some positions offer flexibility, but the work always comes first.

Pace & purposeWe move fast because the problems are real and the stakes are high. The people around you push you to be better, and the mission makes it worth it.

"The work we do here reaches people that most of the conventional financial sector has never bothered to reach. That's not a marketing line. That's why we show up."

Ali Mazanderani

, Executive Chairman
