About the Company:
The thrill of working at a start-up that is starting to scale massively is something else. Simpl (getsimpl.com) was formed in 2015 by Nitya Sharma, an investment banker from Wall Street and Chaitra Chidanand, a tech executive from the Valley, when they teamed up with a very clear mission - to make money simple so that people can live well and do amazing things.
Simpl is the payment platform for the mobile-first world, and we’re backed by some of the best names in FinTech globally (folks who have invested in Visa, Square, and Transferwise), and has Joe Saunders, Ex-Chairman and CEO of Visa as a board member.
Everyone at Simpl is an internal entrepreneur who is given a lot of bandwidth and resources to create the next breakthrough towards the long term vision of “making money Simpl”.
Our first product is a payment platform that lets people buy instantly, anywhere online, and pay later. In the background, Simpl uses big data for credit underwriting, risk and fraud modeling, all without any paperwork, and enables Banks and Non-Bank Financial Companies to access a whole new consumer market.
