Legal Associate

Klar is on a mission to democratize financial services in Mexico—because half of the population still doesn’t have access to a bank account. We’re building the future of fintech with a rich set of debit and credit products, and we’ve already served over 7 million users since our launch in 2019! 🚀

We are proud to compete in one of the most dynamic fintech markets in the world alongside the likes of Nubank, Revolut, and traditional banks—and we’re raising the stakes by building a premium brand that Mexicans are proud to carry in their wallets.

We are also proud to have been certified in 2023 as a “Great Place to Work” in Mexico. We've worked hard to make that happen and will continue to make bigger strides in the future! Sound like a place you’d like to be?

Our values

• Ownership - We own our successes & our failures as a team.
