Banked

Banked was started in 2018 by 4 friends who had come off a successful journey being involved in the creation of another successful London Fintech startup.

In the early months of 2018 the 4 founders quickly got to work building a team and a proposition which could be tested against a market. This proposition was to redefine the world of financial data and connected payments.

2018 was about gaining our regulated status as a payment initiation service provider along with building a team and getting funded.

2019 has been about building our product, building an awesome network of advisers and financial backers from London, Tel Aviv and San Francisco and soon, we will be launching the product out of Beta.

2020 is going to be a huge year for Banked as we grow our customer base and build a pathway to being a global payments business.

What we do?

We have connected to all the major banks in the UK and are rolling out integrations to every UK and European bank over the coming months.

Our API infrastructure enables real time and immediate bank to bank transfers, and also powers our own business mobile app. It allows businesses to initiate payments from their customers at a fraction of the cost of traditional merchant payment providers and with greater security than credit cards.

We also provide this API infrastructure to developers via our online developer console. We want to power businesses of all shapes and sizes to access real time payments and get paid instantly. Our technology will remove the huge legacy maze traditional providers have built up over decades.

The customer is at the heart of all of our security, architecture, performance, application and global bank connectivity design.

Why Join Us?

We work collaboratively and are trying to solve complex problems in an agile manner. We believe the future of work is about embracing everyone’s individual skills and experiences no matter where in the world they are.

Our business is new to this world and we want to build it together. Working at Banked means shaping product, culture, company and your own personal role. We encourage anyone to be involved in any part of the business they are passionate about.

Right now we are building a team structure as we transition from bootstrapping to product launch and scale. We want people who can hold honesty and candour as core personality traits and aren’t afraid to challenge and contribute.

We have 4 core values as a business:

• Lean: We are straightforward and minimalist. We do everything in the simplest, most efficient way, without sacrificing quality or cutting corners.
• Genuine: We are honest and reliable. We work transparently and openly, to help build confidence and connection.
• Useful: We are helpful and generous. We solve real life problems for people, with pragmatism and care.
• Respectful: We are sensitive and thoughtful. We treat people as individuals, always finding ways to hand over more control and dignity.
