Product Strategy Analyst

Description

Ready to be a part of the company transforming Fin Tech and how the world accesses banking services? When was the last time you were excited about interacting with your bank or credit union? If the answer is, “a while,” then you’re in good company. Even though access to better financial choices is at the heart of empowering communities, businesses, and people, financial institutions (FIs) are struggling to keep up with modern expectations.

And that’s where Kinective comes in. We’re here to change the way the world accesses and thinks about banking through software that connects a historically “boring” industry to the latest and greatest fintechs shaping the industry. Banks and credit unions use some old‑school systems that make adopting new technology difficult. As the largest provider of software connectivity to 1 in 3 U.S. financial institutions, we are the leading company transforming the way banking is done for credit unions and banks.

For example, Forbes’s Best Banks in the World report noted that Kinective works with over 60% of their named banks. We connect the technology gap and help modernize banking for everyone.
