SumUp’s vision is to become a first global card acceptance brand by redefining the industry standards through constant technology driven innovation. While Payments landscape is undergoing rapid change driven by innovation on technological regulatory side and payments remain very local, one size does not fit all and a perfect payment product is a moving target. We are looking for a self-driven personality who shares our vision to help us build payments infrastructure ground up.

About us

We are the leading mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) company in Europe.

We created a unique device that with the smartphone that’s in your pocket, allows small merchants to accept card payments anywhere. Whether our merchants are brewing coffee or fixing cars, we want to make technology that everyone knows how to use. So our merchants can get on with what they do best. From our paperless onboarding to taking the first payment, we make it easy. Traditional offerings leave out small businesses, we don’t. We are open and honest about our pricing and have no hidden fees.

Today, hundreds of thousands of small businesses in 16 countries around the world rely on SumUp to get paid. In addition to our original hardware, mobile and web apps we have gone on to develop a suite of APIs and SDKs to integrate SumUp payment into other apps and services.

Why work for us?

We do things differently. We build our own payment solution end-to-end so that we can always offer the best value & service. We know how vital payment is to small business, so we use our technology to solve their problems. We believe in open and transparent communication, not strict rules and hierarchies.
