❔ Why we’re here

At Tunic Pay, we’re building the future of safe payments. Fraud costs UK consumers and businesses billions each year — and the payment experience is broken. We’re here to fix that, starting with trust during the transaction.

Our product helps people know who they’re really paying, right at the point of payment — so that confidence, not fear, defines online payments. We started the business in November 2023 when we closed our Seed Round, and are already working with some of the biggest banks in the UK to make this a reality. 🧤

We believe in strong in-person collaboration so are requiring 3+ days a week jamming together in our London office (Farringdon).

Now is a foundational time to join, so check out open roles below ↓

🥍 Our team

We are a super early fintech startup, and super-ambitious. To give you a sense of just how early, we started the business a year ago and closed our seed round last November 💡. There’s a ton of exciting challenges we need to tackle, from integrating diverse data about participants in the payments network, to developing the next generation of security & privacy-protecting protocols, to crafting delightful experiences that drive conversion through our consumer-facing touchpoints. And as if that’s not hard enough, we are working with some of our customers’ most sensitive data and need to deliver 24/7/365 uptime 🧤. Our goals are almost ludicrously challenging, but scams have to be solved, and we think we’re the team to do it 🦸‍♀️.

We were founded by second time founders who have built their careers in fintech: Nicky previously co-founded Nova Credit, helping immigrants access credit. She’s served millions of immigrants, raised over $130M, and built a team of 100+ people across three continents. And Nico (co-founder) spent the last 4 years as CEO of Casai, LatAm’s largest short-term rental operator with almost 2k apartments in 🇲🇽 and 🇧🇷, where he raised over $50M, and served >100k guests. The two met over a decade ago when Nico worked at Nova Credit, and their strength of partnership shines in making the business collaborative.

Nicky & Nico in the early, pre-headshot days

The founders have been joined by an amazing team of fraud fighters — bringing in diverse experiences in cybersecurity, payments infrastructure, fraud, banking and beyond.

🍃 Our values

Designer (12).jpeg

Yes, and.

This business needs creativity – we value well-channelled positivity (and the discomfort of ideation!) above intellectual scepticism.

Designer (15).jpeg

Change, and speed, is the only constant.

We prize flexibility and velocity. We don’t overpromise on a single strategy or career path. Nor do we value effort (sorry!). Instead, we are focused on outcomes + efficiency⚡

Straight-shooters.

We tell it like it is. To our customers, our investors, ourselves. There is no room for ethical shortcuts, and we’re taking the decades-long view.

Pranksters, not fraudsters.

We’re serious about our work, but not about ourselves. We delight in bringing a little troll spirit.
