The planned hiring spree will bring over 730 new employees to Bunq’s marketing, business development, sales and market analysis departments as the company looks to double down on its expansion efforts.
A statement released by the neobank also confirms plans to hire “international expansion specialists”, with additional openings for user support, development and quality assurance roles.
The majority of new hires will be supported by a “tailored digital nomad program” for remote working assurance, the company adds.
Headquartered in Amsterdam, Bunq currently maintains offices in Bulgaria, Germany, France, Ireland, Spain, the UK, and the US, where it lodged a banking licence application last year. The company has also applied for an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence in the UK as it looks to challenge the likes of Monzo and Revolut in the country.
“To keep our skyrocketing growth soaring, we’re looking for user-centric, entrepreneurial minds who crave growth and love a challenge,” comments founder and CEO Ali Niknam.
Bunq notably stepped into 2024 with a net profit of €53.1 million for the previous year, marking its first full year of profitability since its inception in 2012.
