Company

Pockit is a fair, no-nonsense alternative to traditional banking. We’re there for customers who’ve been ignored or locked out by the high-street, and offer disruptive new products that are custom-built for the millions of consumers that are currently under-served.

We’re a lively, friendly, international community based in three offices throughout London and Poland. You’ll be made to feel at home straight away, and join a team that fosters curiosity, ambition, accountability and resilience.

Flexible working, and a well-stocked office snack cupboard are just a few of the benefits you’ll enjoy as part of the Pockit family. Team socials are the norm, and a truly flat hierarchy means you’ll receive exposure to senior staff and execs as a matter of course.
