GoCardless

Founded in 2011, we provide an online payment processing solution for businesses. We let companies collect instant, one-off, and automated recurring payments directly from customer bank accounts, including Direct Debits.

We support international payments from over 30 countries, with integrated FX powered by Wise. Our retry systems for failed payments can recover up to 70% of transactions. We are building a global bank payment network for faster, cheaper, and more secure payments, using open banking to access bank account data from over 2,300 banks across the UK and Europe. This data helps us with risk management and product development. In 2022, we acquired open banking provider Nordigen.

We serve over 100,000 businesses worldwide and integrate with more than 350 business software systems such as Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Zuora, and Salesforce. Our core services involve online payments, BACS, open banking, and direct debit. We are also an official partner of Swim England.

Our mission is to build the first global bank payment network, making payments faster, cheaper, and more secure for businesses and consumers everywhere. We believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid, and that bank account data is a powerful tool for businesses to make better, faster decisions.

We value our people, emphasizing the importance of our support team. We are committed to diversity and inclusion, and we prioritize sustainability. We aim to be ‘GoCarbonless’ by addressing climate change, improving biodiversity, and supporting communities for a more sustainable and equitable world. Our values are central to our culture and how we deliver our work.

We employ between 501 and 1000 individuals. Our culture encourages continuous learning and development, and we expect employees to be proactive in their learning, take ownership of their careers, and perform well in line with our values. Our fast-growing tech environment means work is always changing.

We emphasize mutual support among team members. We are committed to diversity and inclusion, striving to create a workplace where everyone can be their best self and where differences are accepted and celebrated. We practice Pay Range Transparency, sharing full base salary ranges on job adverts and internally. We also have onboarding programs to help new hires integrate quickly.

We offer medical coverage, including mental health support, and dedicated wellbeing resources. We operate a hybrid working model, with flexible in-office days set by individual teams. Our Work Away Scheme allows employees to work from any location for up to 90 days within a 12-month period.

We provide generous annual holiday leave, plus 3 volunteer days and 4 company-wide wellness days (called ‘GC Fridays’). All permanent employees receive equity in the company. We also offer tailored parental leave to support family growth.
