Summary

Opening Commerce For Everyone.

We enable people to thrive, through open commerce.

We’re breaking down barriers to a more prosperous future for all. We’re unlocking economic opportunities by building inclusive financial tools for the self-employed.

We believe in a world where commerce is more accessible, more possible, more inclusive, more for everyone.

We’re Growing

Yoco is a growing organisation. And as we grow we have compelling challenges ahead for us.

Building things that make society more equal is a daunting task. And it’s not for everyone.

We’re looking for people who want to grow. And as Yoco grows we hope they stay with us, long term.

We embrace the daunting parts of tackling enormous challenges, because we know we’re part of creating a legacy that’s making a real impact on the lives of everyday people.

How we work

We have over 500 team members globally, operating across international markets, all with a bias for boldness, and a passion for simple, progressive solutions.

We believe in uniting different people to solve hard problems together. Our mission of making society more equal takes a variety of people, with different backgrounds and points of view, so we can keep building solutions that work for everyone.

In part, this means growing teams that widen our context and reflect the diversity of our customers (and the world).

The cornerstones of that culture are connection, communication, collaboration, and trust.

Looking ahead, we know that working with a mix of teams, from different locations, in a flexible combination of remote and office or hub, is here to stay.

We work wherever we thrive, but also understand that some roles are location-dependent.

What we build

Our little blue card machines (powered by our free, smart App and Business Portal) helped us make a name for ourselves, and remain front and centre on our platform.

Our newest smart releases have revolutionised the idea of what a card machine can do for small business - and they just keep getting smarter.

We also now offer a multi-product selection of intuitive, dynamic solutions that are easy to tailor to diverse business needs.

We’re rapidly expanding the scope of the Online Payments space. Having built our own payment switch for our payment gateway from scratch, we also launched several online payment products like Yoco Link and Storefront - making online payments easy and accessible.

Our innovative answer to traditional bank loans, Yoco Capital is a fast, flexible cash advance that gives small businesses the funding they need to grow, with no interest or late penalties. Repayments are based on turnover, so kind on cash flow and risk.
