About Zepz:

Zepz is powering two leading global payments brands: WorldRemit and Sendwave.

Our brands currently send from 50 to 130 countries, operate in over 5,000 money transfer corridors worldwide and employ over 1,600 people globally.

Zepz is a remote-first employer, with team members located across six continents.

Our Vision:

A world that celebrates migrants' impact on prosperity, at home and abroad

Our Purpose:

To unlock the prosperity of cross-border communities through finance and technology

Our Commitments:

-
We act like owners:

  • We are relentlessly delivering for our customers and spending money thoughtfully. Our job is not to do what we can to solve a problem. It's to ensure that problem is solved. If an attempt to solve a problem doesn't work, we seek an alternative. If we need help, we request it, and, if necessary, demand it.
-
We embrace embarrassing honesty - We function best when we're open and honest with one another — especially about our challenges and doubts. We lean into uncomfortable conversations and support our colleagues when they do the same.
-
We have a bias to action
  • We get to the first outcomes quickly, iterate and learn. We measure our own and others' contributions by objectives reached, not time spent. Living a full life outside of work is necessary for high achievement over the long term.
-
We strive to be better - We may make mistakes, but always learn from them. We lean into uncomfortable conversations and support our colleagues when they do the same.
-
We are inclusive - Both as a team and to our customers, we believe in being part of the narrative of growth for Zepz, regardless of who you are, where you are from and how you show up - as long as it is to better reflect and serve our customers
