An NPS of 87.5 — an exceptional score in our industry that reflects enthusiastic client feedback on the simplicity, speed, and quality of our service

A strong culture built around 4 core values

Team First: The complexity of our industry demands collective intelligence. We prioritize cooperation, transparency, and knowledge sharing. Success is a team effort, and decisions are made together.

Tenacity: We’re transforming a challenging and highly regulated market. It requires endurance, fast learning, and resilience — qualities rooted in our entrepreneurial DNA.

Transformation: Innovation is not a buzzword; it’s a necessity in a constantly shifting and strategic sector. We innovate with intent: every technical, product, or organizational improvement is designed for real impact.

Trust: Trust is the foundation of everything we build — with our clients and, above all, internally. It’s driven by ownership, autonomy, and a shared commitment to transparency, rigor, and reliability.

We operate at the heart of a strategic and fast-evolving sector: international payments for SMEs — a complex, high-potential market.

We’re driven by a meaningful mission: helping bold “Small & Medium Multinationals” succeed globally.

Our platform integrates cutting-edge technologies (AI, automation…), making it an ideal playground to test, learn, and innovate continuously.

You’ll join an agile environment where your expertise has tangible impact, working alongside talent from top financial institutions.

iBanFirst is profitable and backed by long-term investors:

Xavier Niel and Bpifrance, historical shareholders, have supported and trusted us from the beginning
