Why work for Remitly?
You can work anywhere. But at Remitly, your work has an impact on people around the globe. We’re here to be the best financial service for hard-working immigrant communities worldwide by helping them send money to their loved ones faster, easier, and at a lower cost with our all-digital money transfer platform. Our vision is to transform the lives of immigrants and their families by providing the most trusted financial service products on the planet.
The idea behind Remitly took flight when co-founder and CEO, Matt Oppenheimer, was in Kenya working as Head of Mobile Banking for Barclays Bank. There, he noticed firsthand how reliant families in Kenya were on money sent from loved ones working abroad.
Oppenheimer was convinced that the convergence of smartphone penetration and mobile app technology could change all that.
“Living in Kenya and seeing the remittance process up close was an eye-opener. I became convinced it’s a problem around which we could both build a big business and make a huge impact on the world,” Oppenheimer said.
