# We’re building the future of financial infrastructure

We’re on a mission to make it easier for businesses to connect to the financial system and build payments solutions that scale.

## We value all Stitches

We’re a passionate, collaborative team who care about our company culture, and we’re dedicated to enabling the best possible environment so all Stitches can succeed.

## Stitch culture + values

### Clients first

Our purpose at Stitch is to enable our clients to build better payment systems. We are the preferred payments partner for some of the largest and most successful businesses in South Africa and globally. That means we have to deliver outstanding client experience.

### Stitches matter

Stitch is building a small but mighty team. We want to attract and retain only the best Stitches for the job. Our environment allows top talent to do their best work and be well rewarded for it.

### Build together

The “how” in working together is a critical part of maintaining a high performance environment. We need to collaborate effectively, prioritising outcomes for our clients over our individual ambitions.

### Decisive delivery

Stitch is playing to win. We want to have an outsized impact for our clients. To do this, we need to deliver fast, with high quality, every single time. We aim to always out execute.

## The Stitch experience

We value connections built over shared experiences – from meals eaten together, to regular team retreats, to after-work activities like climbing adventures, frequent pick-up soccer matches and much more. At the Stitch Cape Town office, we also gather for free team lunches daily – and the door is always open to friends, family, investors and clients! We also work hard to ensure those working remotely enjoy a similar experience and remain included in all our events and celebrations.

## Benefits

Benefits at Stitch are designed to enable everyone to work at their highest potential.

### Equity in the business

All permanent Stitches have ownership in the company.

### Generous leave

We recognise the importance of work-life balance, and our leave policy caters for various types of paid time off to enable Stitches to achieve this.

### Fully reimbursed equipment

Our teams are equipped with the tools necessary to perform at their best, every day.

### Professional development

We invest in our team for the long-term and support continuous opportunities for learning.

### Frequent celebrations

We value each and every Stitch and celebrate what matters to them. This includes work-anniversary cakes, birthday celebrations and life-event celebrations.

## We’re a venture-backed startup with $107 million in funding to date
