Data Analyst, Compliance Operations London, England
Job description
Description
We’re on a mission to make investing better for everyone in Europe. More specifically, we’re making it light years better (sorry… we had to!). We’re combining multi-currency accounts with unlimited access to global markets so that everyone in Europe can invest freely without sneaky hidden fees or unnecessary barriers.
Over the last 18 months, we’ve grown from being just an idea to a regulated business in both the UK & the EU, launching in 20 countries and raising $35M along the way. And we’ve hired a team of 30 people from some of the best fintechs in Europe.
We’ve got a stellar group of investors behind us including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sir Richard Branson, Mosaic Ventures, Taavet Hinrikus, Jaan Tallinn, Sten Tamkivi, Eileen Burbidge as well as a host of angel investors. In 2022, we raised a $25M Series A round.
