Finance & Operations Manager
IMMERSVEAbout Us
Immersve is a global card-issuing payment institution and principal partner of Mastercard, built to make digital assets spendable in real time on the Mastercard network. We power some of the largest crypto card programs in the world, including Binance, KuCoin, Bitget Wallet and MetaMask; with no bank and no fiat rail involved. We own the full stack, end to end.
Money is evolving. Its moving onchain faster than most financial systems can keep up with. Stablecoins settle in seconds, run around the clock, and don't care about time zones or banks. Immersve is the last mile: the bridge between web3 infrastructure and the Mastercard acceptance network; turning stablecoin balances into money people can spend today, everywhere Mastercard is accepted.
Our partners don't have to teach their users a new way to pay. We handle the plumbing so the experience feels exactly like the one people already know. Even works with Apple and Google Pay.
The next wave of financial institutions won't win by asking customers to change their habits, they'll win by rebuilding what's underneath while everything on the surface stays familiar. That's the problem we're solving at Immersve, and why we're hiring people who want to build it.
