Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

Since 2018, Wisetack has been building transparent and intuitive consumer lending products that help service-based businesses thrive (think HVAC companies, veterinarians, or auto repair shops).

Our leadership team comes from top fintech companies such as Lending Club, Affirm, and Varo Money. And we’re backed by leading VCs, including Insight Partners, Greylock, Quadrille, and Bain Capital Ventures (investors in Airbnb, LinkedIn, Instagram, Dropbox, and more).

Having raised $84M, we’re a well-funded startup and have invested in people and technology while growing our partnerships — responsibly.

We’re also proud to have received recognition from the fintech world. Awards we’ve won include:

But what you’ll find us gleaming about the most is the recognition from our own customers, particularly our sky-high NPS rating of 79. (For reference, the average score is 44 for financial services and 36 for SaaS companies.)

As a result of our efforts in building this healthy company culture, we’ve been nominated to several Great Places to Work lists, such as Best Small Workplaces, Best Workplaces in the Bay Area, and Best Workplaces in Financial Services Insurance.

Like any startup, we’re in it for the long haul, and we’re looking for people willing to join our journey of building something special together.

This process starts with our company values, which guide us in everything we do — and have played a critical role in our success. We valiantly abide by them, and would expect you to do the same:

  • Put customers first (that’s our M.O.)
  • Act fast (leverage our startup environment).
  • Lead the way (show and tell).
  • Take ownership (everyone is hands-on here).
  • Be a good human (no egos, build financial products that do right by people).

View company profile

We're Wisetack, a financial technology company with a clear mission: to build financially-responsible consumer lending products that help service-based businesses thrive. We were founded in 2018 by a team of experienced fintech veterans from companies like PayPal, Lending Club, and Affirm. We saw a gap in the market for a 'buy now, pay later' solution specifically designed for in-person services. While e-commerce had plenty of financing options, businesses like home and auto repair shops, dentists, and veterinarians were being underserved. We decided to change that by creating a simple, transparent, and fair way for their customers to pay for essential services over time.

Our approach is built on seamless integration. Through our suite of APIs, we embed our financing options directly into the software platforms that businesses already use for their day-to-day operations. This means a roofer, a plumber, or a car mechanic can offer their customers a flexible payment option in minutes, without disrupting their workflow. For consumers, this means a quick and easy application process with no hidden fees, late fees, or surprises. We're incredibly proud of the positive impact we're having, helping businesses increase their sales and enabling consumers to afford the services they need without financial stress. Our Net Promoter Score is a sky-high 78, which tells us we're building a product that people truly love. We're backed by leading investors like Insight Partners, Greylock, and Bain Capital Ventures, and we're excited to continue our journey of empowering small businesses and their customers across the country.
