Job description

Interchecks Technologies is a leading venture-backed fintech company dedicated to transforming financial transaction management. We provide payment processing solutions to top operators in online sports betting and fintech.

Founded in 2016 on the simple idea that sending money should be easy, fast, and affordable, Interchecks saw businesses struggling with increasingly complex payments and consumers disappointed with their options. We decided there had to be a better way — so we built it.

Starting with 1099 vendor payments, we expanded rapidly to support real-time payments for gaming operators with the legalization of online gaming in 2018. Unlike many narrow and inflexible payout solutions, Interchecks offers a comprehensive and flexible platform with strong compliance capabilities, enabling us to serve regulated industries like gaming and replicate this success across other fintech verticals.

Opportunity
