kevin. is a payments fintech that provides a secure and developer-friendly payments infrastructure accessible via an API. We give businesses the ability to accept payments directly from banks, cutting out the card networks and making payments process cheaper, faster, smoother and more convenient.
Our aim is to disrupt the payments sector, unlocking the potential of open banking to a wide range of market players. Our banking payments solutions outcompete card networks on both quality and price, and are fully compliant with the PSD2 framework. kevin. is licensed to operate across the EEA and is supervised by the Bank of Lithuania.
In October of this year, kevin. secured $10 million in a seed funding round co-led by OTB Ventures and Speedinvest. Last year, kevin. was named the best fintech in the Baltics at the prestigious Mastercard Lighthouse program, and one of the most promising startups of 2021 by EU-Startups.com.
kevin. doesn’t only disrupt the payment systems, we also disrupt the ideas of corporate work.
We removed the strict schedule of corporate life - we choose our own working hours and place we do our job from. But we did keep the corporate benefits we love the most: good salary, like-minded community, health insurance, stability, safety & nice office space.
kevin. is not only a platform for payments, it’s also a platform for our over 100 (and growing) employees to build their careers.
We are a successful startup, still young, with so much potential to grow. And we expect our employees to be the same - full of potential, ambition, and drive!
