About Instant Bank Pay

You will be working on our PayTo product in Australia. Our products leverage the Open Banking connections to offer merchants both Instant Bank Payments and Variable Recurring Payments.

Our remit is unique. We’re a lean team focused on a large problem space, and our priorities span traditional product development and commercial growth. Our focus is the United Kingdom, but we have ownership over IBP in international markets as well.

  • You have a growth mindset, motivated by driving concrete business outcomes.
  • You adapt to new technologies and processes quickly.

  • You enjoy talking directly with the end customer - you will take feedback directly from users to build the best solutions
  • You care about building reliable, well-tested front-end experiences.
