Decentro - Company Secretary (2-4 yrs)

About Decentro:

- Decentro is a Y-Combinator backed banking & payments infrastructure company.

- Decentro provides building blocks that help companies stitch their fintech workflows in a few weeks.

- While starting our first fintech venture back in 2014, we spent years convincing banks to partner with us.

- Before we could launch our fintech product (more here), we had to convince different departments within banks - including technology, business, leadership, legal, and support to get the green signal.

- Fast forward to today, we realise that banks & regulatory institutions find it difficult to help the longer tail of companies build innovative & compliant fintech solutions.

- What if there was a platform (think AWS for cloud or Twilio for messaging) that abstracts the complexities of banking, identity, payments, lending, and provides simple APIs so that companies do not have to spend years dealing with banks?

- We're solving this pain point at Decentro since 2020.

- We've scaled to process $4 billion + in payment volumes & have 900+ customers across India & Singapore in multiple verticals such as marketplaces, banks, regulated institutions, fintechs, lenders, gaming, and more.

- We are RBI approved online payment aggregator as of 2024.
