    Aurae has been around for a while serving the ultra wealth, high net worth individuals (Ian Poulter, Gerard Pique). Offering a banking solution and dedicated personal assistant providing help in their life. This included a lot of manul processes, booking private jets, liquidating crypto currencies and running high profile events (as examples).

    In 2018, having all the peieces to the puzzle. We set out to automate and provide a self service platofrm that could be offered to everyone.

    We are FCA regulated and have the ability to convert crypto currency directly into an eMoney wallet. From there is is possible to use a card or standard banking faciliities to transfer the money to external accounts or make payments.

    Everything has been built with whitelabelling in mind. Our focus was on the Asian and European markets and Club Swan is the brand for these markets.

    We are a small (20) but dedicated technology team that has built the entire platform within 12 months. That is green field to the app store! As we have delivered the key features that make the product work, it is now time expand the team, share knowledge and take the product to the next step.

    It is hard to describe here what we do and how we work. I believe that no one currenly in the market places offeres the complete turn key solution we do. Our approach to technology is always looking forward and there is nothing we can't solve for!

    I am looking for smart, self driven people who can elevate the technology team. We are open thinkers and while we are good at what we do, know we are not perfect and can do better!

    Our funding is on the backing of the successful Aurae business. We answer to no PE or VC companies! What this means however, is we do need to make revenue and we believe that a transparent fee model showing the actual cost is the approach needed to avoid huge annual losses (see Revolut, Monzo). When it comes to financial services, nothing seems easy to understand. So we need to make this easier for everyone.
