Leaf Global Fintech careers

Leaf is the first live, blockchain-based financial solution for people without smartphones. Leaf currently offers an Android app and a USSD platform for feature phones. Blockchain and a cloud computing technology stack secure and power Leaf’s back-end, while USSD allows the service to be used on feature phones—any GSM-compliant phone can run USSD apps by dialing a three-digit shortcode.

Leaf uses existing mobile networks to operate almost entirely virtually. An estimated 60% of conflict zones already use mobile money—a USSD-based technology that allows people to store money on their phones, pay for items, and send money without a smartphone. Thousands of kiosks convert cash in and out of mobile money but the money cannot cross borders. Leaf solves this problem by creating a digital wallet that stays with the refugee wherever they go. Leaf has received global recognition and awards from SXSW, the National Science Foundation, Techstars, the United Nations, Fast Company, Cisco, and The Vatican.
