Account Executive - Italy

Our mission

Time is money, and earning interest on cash should be effortless. We make it so, putting an end to the conflict of interest between banks and their clients.

Founded in mid-2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko delivers best-in-class cash management products for SMEs, startups, financial advisors and fintechs via an app or API. We’re not a typical broker: we internalize much of the value chain by building the infrastructure that enables us to issue, manage, and distribute these products.

18 months after launch, we have more than 2,000 B2B customers and over €700M in assets under management, with active commercialisation only in France. Yet the problem we’re solving isn’t French: it’s at least European.

Our ambition is to build Europe’s top cash manager in a market worth trillions of euros.

We are backed by top-tier investors, including Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.

Spiko’s culture is built on excellence, transparency, open feedback, and humility.
