Our Mission:

Curve is on a mission to simplify the way people spend, send, see and save money. We can turn any bank, into a smart bank. Centralising all your credit, debit, rewards and business cards and housing them safely on a single platform. Adding notifications, creating budgets, seeing spending habits all to your existing bank account. For the first time giving you smart insights and control of all your money in one effortless place. The aim:truly Connected Finance.

Scaling this resiliently across the millions of transactions happening globally requires a sophisticated microservice architecture and more than the usual lip service to big data. And that’s just for starters. Providing customer spending insights and battling fraud is going to require world-leading machine learning techniques. This isn’t a challenge for the faint-hearted and depends on a special team to build this future.
