Compliance Officer

At Cardless, we’re building a credit card and loyalty platform that consumer businesses use to engage their customers. We’ve launched 14 credit cards, including for Alibaba and Qatar Airways. We help businesses bring imaginative card programs to life, and have pioneered technology to embed credit card features natively into their products.

We're headquartered in San Francisco, and have raised about $90M in equity funding from top venture capital firms and angels.
