Job Description

Description:

Ready to be a part of the company transforming FinTech and how the world accesses banking services

When was the last time you were excited about interacting with your bank or credit union? If the answer is, “a while,” then you’re in good company. Even though access to better financial choices is at the heart of empowering communities, businesses, and people, financial institutions (FIs) are struggling to keep up with modern expectations. 

And that’s where Kinective comes in. We’re here to change the way the world accesses and thinks about banking through software that connects a historically “boring” industry to the latest and greatest fintechs shaping the industry.

Ok... but what does all of that actually mean? Banks and credit unions are using some old-school systems, which make adopting new and innovative technology difficult (if not impossible). If you think it’s easy for your local branch to send you a receipt via text… think again.

Want proof? As the largest provider of software connectivity to 1 in 4 U.S. financial institutions, we are the leading company transforming the way banking is done for credit unions and banks. In fact, Forbes recently released their Best Banks in the World report, and Kinective works with over 60% of their named banks!

Kinective is the connector (get it?) that bridges that technology gap and helps modernize the way banking works. Our ~300 team of mega-talented and passionate folks are brought together with the unifying desire to make life easier (and better) for our clients and ultimately paving the way for banks and credit unions to modernize banking for everyone.

The Cliffs Notes
