GoCardless

Hired Top Employer in 2022

ABOUT US

We're a global leader in account-to-account payments, making it easy for merchants to collect both recurring and one-off payments directly from customers' bank accounts. Our global payments network and technology platform take the pain out of getting paid for 70,000 businesses worldwide, from multinational corporations to small businesses. Each year we process US$30 billion of payments across more than 30 countries. We're headquartered in the UK, with additional offices in Australia, France and the United States.

OUR CULTURE

When it comes to culture, we're proud of what we call the 'GC magic'. It's primarily defined by our values: Start With Why, Be Humble, Act with Integrity, and Care Deeply. They've been our bedrock since day one, and they continue to be one of the key factors of our success, and the reason we love showing up to work every day.

Because we're now delivering on our important, and ambitious vision to become the world's account-to-account payment network, we're working at pace. To help clear the path to success - so any obstacles and blockers don't slow us down - we've introduced our own set of operating principles, which live alongside our values. They're designed to help us successfully navigate our continued growth by helping us work together better. They provide guideposts around some of the key areas of how we operate so things are smoother, easier and ultimately lead to better outcomes. You can read more about our values and operating principles here.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

👩‍💼 Female employees (46%)

🌎 Ethnic backgrounds (32%)

🏳️‍🌈 Identify as LGBTQIA (10%)

🧠 Neurodivergent (9%)

There's lots more to the magic. We view diversity and inclusion as a business imperative, so we have a leader whose role it is to ensure we create an inclusive workplace where people from all backgrounds can thrive, and where people from all walks of life want to join us. We also have high engagement with our GeeCee-led 'employee resource groups' (such as BEAM, Inspiring, Pride, and Access) that are supported and sponsored by members of our Exec team.

SUSTAINABILITY

We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and to leaving a more sustainable world for future generations.

In 2021, we became co-founders of the Tech Zero coalition, a group of businesses committed to taking climate action as part of the UNFCC Race To Zero.

Since this first step, it’s been a busy few months! We set out with a clear aim of reducing our impact but also seeking opportunities to create positive change on the natural world and communities.
