Thought Machine's mission is bold – to properly and permanently rid the world's banks of legacy technology. To achieve this, we have developed the foundations of modern banking through core and payments technology which run natively in the cloud.

We have raised more than $500m in funding and are now valued at $2.7bn. Our investors include Temasek, Standard Chartered Ventures, Molten Ventures, Eurazeo, Intesa Sanpaolo, Nyca Partners, JPMorgan Chase Strategic Investments, and more.

We have created a culture enabling our team to produce the best work in the industry, ensuring we have fun along the way. We're regularly cited as having a fantastic workplace culture and have been recognised by Sifted magazine as having one of the highest Glassdoor ratings for a UK fintech company and the most generous employee share package in the industry. We've been named in the IDC list of top 100 fintechs, and the Singapore HR Awards awarded us Gold and Silver for our workplace culture and employee experience.
