Yaspa operates across the UK and Europe, is regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, and is backed by leading investors including Fin Capital, SGH Capital & Metavallon VC.
Yaspa has recently secured a $12 million (£9m) investment led by Discerning Capital with participation from longstanding Yaspa investor Techstars Ventures. This milestone funding will accelerate our expansion into the US market as we continue to transform payments and identity services for regulated businesses.

Working with Yaspa
We are a fun, collaborative team based in London and Leeds. Benefits of working with us include:
* A strong focus on culture - We’re a friendly bunch who work hard and support each other; if you’re excited by personal and professional growth, and being able to really make your mark, then this is the place for you!

* Choice of tech - It’ll probably be a Macbook, but we do give you the choice of which machinery you’d like to work on just in case you’re a die-hard Linux or Microsoft user.
* WFH set-up allowance - Along with your new laptop, we will also provide you an allowance so you can get your perfect set up sorted.
* Quarterly socials - The Yaspa team is fun and curious, so we make sure we get together to go-kart, throw darts, play board games and generally enjoy ourselves!
* Mental and physical health support - We provide you with an app that’s specially tailored to support your health, as well as access to 24-hour advice and free GP appointments. You can also access counselling and use the app for all parts of your life.
* Generous holiday allowance - As well as all the UK public bank holidays, you get 28 days of holiday to enjoy and take as you’d like. Emails off, sunnies on!
* Matched pension (up to 5% matched contributions) - For planning ahead!
