Business Analyst

Job Type Full-timeDescriptionReady to be a part of the company transforming FinTech 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. Despite the fact that 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.Ok... but what does all of that actually mean?
