Business Development Manager

  • Full-time

Company Description

Hastee is an award-winning FinTech, revolutionising the way people are paid, enabling workers to receive a portion of their earned pay immediately, whenever and wherever they want. In 2020 we acquired our counterpart in Barcelona which strengthened our mission to be at the heart of employee financial wellbeing both in the UK and wider Europe.

How We Do It

  • We enable access to a portion of their earned pay, on-demand when they need it.
  • We deliver financial education & management tools, including savings, budgeting, rewards & cashbacks to help our users better understand their finances and make decisions that ultimately make their money go further.

By accessing their pay on-demand via an award-winning app, Hastee reduces financial stress, increasing choice, wellbeing and productivity. People can only ever receive their pay for the work they have completed; so it is income smoothing, not a loan. We do not charge interest, but a low and simple fee, and help people to avoid expensive consumer finance options such as overdrafts and payday loans.

Our clients benefit from the improved recruitment, retention, engagement and productivity of their workforce. Hastee is free to employers (unless they wish to contribute) and has no impact to company cash flow since we fund the payments of earned wages.

Having successfully launched our product and being very well-funded, Hastee is one of the most exciting and scalable fintech businesses around, operating in and re-shaping one of the largest markets.

If you’re looking to be part of something special, that will change the way people are paid forever, get in touch!
