Commerce for everyone
We believe in a world where commerce is more accessible, more possible, more inclusive, more for everyone.
We’re breaking down barriers to a more prosperous future for all. We’re unlocking economic opportunities by building inclusive financial tools for the self-employed.
We enable people to thrive, through open commerce.
We're growing
Yoco is growing, and as we grow we have compelling challenges ahead of us.
Growing means we’re enabling more self-employed people and businesses to thrive every day. It also means that ambitious problem-solvers with big ideas are challenged, stimulated and will thrive at Yoco.

Our values
-
👯♀️ Stay connected
We’re present, and intentional about connecting with customers and each other. We’re deeply interested, and listen with empathy. We’re considerate and mindful of our impact on others.
-
🔬 Keep it simple
We work through complexity, and distil to the essence. We are confident to start, fail fast, learn faster, and repeat. We’re agile and move quickly to get things done. We say ‘no’ when we’re off track.
-
🦚 Master your craft
We create things of value. Every time. We ask ‘why’. We’re discerning, honest, and always learning.
-
🛰 Make space to explore
We’re empowered to take initiative, act on curiosity, get messy, and stay open-minded. Get to the big picture. We find our strengths and play to them, we share and debate.
A multi-product eco-system
Our little blue card machines (powered by our free, smart App and Business Portal) helped us make a name for ourselves, and remain front and centre on our platform.
We also now offer a multi-product selection of intuitive, dynamic solutions that are easy to tailor to diverse business needs.
We’re rapidly expanding the scope of the Online Payments space. Having built our own payment switch for our payment gateway from scratch, we also launched several online payment products like Yoco Link and Storefront - making online payments easy and accessible.
Our innovative answer to traditional bank loans, Yoco Capital is a fast, flexible cash advance that gives small businesses the funding they need to grow, with no interest or late penalties. Repayments are based on turnover, so kind on cash flow and risk.
