Senior Brand Designer

About us:

Headquartered in London, BVNK is on a mission to make banking and payments work for crypto - the crypto market has evolved fast, and traditional finance is yet to catch up. Operating a business in both crypto and fiat today is incredibly difficult, so we’ve built a business account specifically for crypto businesses, focussing on bridging the gap between fiat and digital assets, bringing payments, trading & custody, and banking to one single platform.

We’re a team of over 100 customer-obsessed, passionate people and are growing fast to continue solving problems for crypto businesses around the world. Over the last two years, we’ve built a culture of growth and agility, with customers at the centre of everything we do, and we believe that our people are our strongest asset. If you enjoy working in a fast-paced energetic environment and solving real-world problems, BVNK could be a great fit for you.
