At Cardless, we're building a credit card and loyalty platform that consumer businesses use to engage their customers. We've launched 9 credit cards, including for the largest mall operator in the U.S. and the largest airline in South America. We help businesses bring imaginative card programs to life, and have pioneered technology to embed credit card features natively into their products.
We value curiosity, humility, and intensity - we move fast and take ownership. This is a place where a motivated, resourceful individual can have an enormous impact on our trajectory. We're headquartered in San Francisco, and have raised about $60M in equity funding from top venture capital firms and angels.

This includes not only anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF) and sanctions compliance, but compliance with the fair lending laws and their implementing regulations.
