Job Description

About GriffinHi, we’re Griffin! We’re the bank for companies who want to build and launch financial products.Our contextWe're rapidly heading towards a future where most of us access financial services through technology companies rather than high street banks. All sorts of companies are now embedding financial products into their apps and user journeys so that their customers can seamlessly make payments, manage expenses, take out loans, save, invest, and do more.The problem is that companies are still dependent on legacy banking infrastructure if they want to offer regulated financial products. They need to either partner directly with an incumbent bank and/or stitch together middleware from various Banking as a Service (BaaS) providers. This process is slow, expensive, and complex and makes it very hard for companies to get new financial products off the ground.At Griffin, we want to change this.Our purposeWe want to make it easy for companies to bring finance to their customers at the point of greatest relevance.
