About us

We are an ambitious and passionate team building the financial system for the next century. If you close your eyes and imagine, the vision is simple: a global system, without hidden fees or unfair FX rates. With control in the hands of customers instead of the hands of banks. With rails that are faster and more efficient than ever before. With wealth management capabilities to grow your savings for decades and build generational money.

We believe that small teams with the best talent outcompete massive companies with mediocre capabilities. That’s why we have gathered a set of people who have done it before at iconic companies like Revolut, Uber, Amazon, Block and UBS: we owned some of the most loved and profitable products, delivered top-notch transaction processing platforms, created beautiful mobile applications - and helped them become profitable companies that changed the lives of millions of people.

At DolarApp we strive to turn the financial system upside down, starting with the Americas. We are nimble but ambitious. We innovate and we learn fast to help our users, with technology as our greatest ally. We do it as a team and we are looking for world class talent to join the movement. Are you ready?
