An Insider's view of Alloy

What’s the vibe like in the office?

The best way I can describe it is a silly encouraging family who happens to love KYC. I am surrounded by supportive, brilliant co-workers, who are all very much themselves with an undisputed passion for the company as well as a leadership team that genuinely cares about the well being of their employees.

Leigh

Software Engineer

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

Basic financial services should be safe and seamless for EVERYONE to sign up for. With every client my team (sales) brings on, we’re making financial products more accessible.

Monica

Senior Mgr Business Dev (Partnerships)

What makes someone successful on your team?

Curiosity and grit will set you up for success on our team! When I joined Alloy, I learned about the relationship between identity and bank applications. From there, I created a knowledge base for clients, and today I manage our support team.

William

What is your vision for the company?

Laura

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

One of Alloy’s values is to “be bold”. This helps the team to have a go-getter, proactive attitude towards challenges big and small as we scale. We also feel supported by our team to try out new strategies, set 1:1 time with SME's across the org. for advice, and be encouraged to fail because we learn so much and grow in that experience.
