Fraud and AML Analyst (m/f/d)

About Ivy

Money, at Internet Speed. There’s no reason why sending money across the globe should feel different than sending an email. Still, businesses struggle with high fees and T+2 settlement times. 

There’s an opportunity to change this. Over 60 geographies worldwide are rolling out real-time payment rails. Stablecoins are emerging as a regulated interoperability asset with the ability to connect these local rails. Ivy is the connective tissue between these new infrastructure paradigms. We believe this is the chance to fundamentally change the way money moves and create a new foundation for global trade. 

We are certain that if we get that right, Ivy is going to be Europe’s first 1T$ company.

Today, we are powering several of the world’s largest global businesses - helping them move money faster and at a lower cost.  

We are a team of ex-founders, early employees at unicorns, and top-tier talent from fintech and banking.

We are backed by the world’s best fintech investors:

• Valar - Peter Thiel and the Valar team have been trying to build a global instant payment network since PayPal times.

• Creandum - Previously invested in fintechs like Klarna, Trade Republic,, Pleo, iZettle

• 10+ unicorn founders
