Yoco named among best workplaces for innovators by FastCompany

Who we are

01

An African technology company

We create opportunities for entrepreneurs to get paid and be more successful. Every day, we break down barriers and create access so that more businesses can participate in the economy and thrive.

02

A builder of new markets

We're establishing new markets; building business tools and financial services that work for entrepreneurs. We're making payments accessible for small businesses – often for the first time.

03

The future of payments in Africa

We've raised over $100M from some of the world's leading technology investors, who have backed companies like Nubank, Square and Stone. Now they're backing us to get South Africa – and eventually the entire continent – paid.

04

Home to a new generation of leaders

Our company's growing fast. We have an amazing team of developers, artists, connectors and enablers building purpose-driven careers. Join us!

Path

Distributed ∞ Connected

We have an office space, but we choose to work from wherever we thrive.

We create flexibility, but certain roles are location-dependent.

We're biased towards a single timezone (Europe, Middle East & Africa - EMEA).

We default to virtual engagement and documentation to be inclusive.

We're intentional about how we connect – with merchants and teammates.

We embrace digital tools, working asynchronously and pragmatically.

We take an outcome-based orientation. It's not just what you put in.

We gather in person at least once a year; more frequently in teams.
