It's time for a better way

At Kartera we believe bank payments are the best way to pay and get paid and that payments should be fair and equitable for everyone in the payment flow. We also believe that bank account data is a powerful tool for merchants to make better, faster decisions. So we’re making it easy to use both.

Our Story

A Better Way to Pay

Nabi Awada is the founder and CEO of Kartera, the payment platform that helps small to medium-sized marketplaces, platforms, and gig economies, reduce processing fees and increase customer loyalty. Prior to launching Kartera, Nabi was the Global Chief Product Officer at Rappi, where he helped to raise nearly $3.4 billion to build challenger banks and credit programs throughout Latin America. Earlier, he was the former Product Principal at Revolut & Monzo, the world's largest challenger banks, and he knows the power of fintech and how it can transform the lives of millions.

Nabi founded Kartera, a fintech startup that is on a mission to help merchants succeed by helping reduce their processing fees and creating the most rewarding ways for customers to pay. Kartera is revolutionizing the way that small businesses get paid. Kartera removes the hassle and delay of typical bank transfers to offer merchants quick access to their funds.

Our values

Our Values are the core beliefs underpinning the Kartera culture. We're an organization defined by our values; We start with why before we begin any project, to ensure it’s aligned with our mission.

Be an owner

Traditional companies ask us to follow their playbook. At Kartera, you’re asked to write your own. So no matter where we sit, we have a direct line to the action our team takes, and real end-to-end ownership of the things we create.

Bias to action

We believe that ideas are great, but execution is everything. That’s why respect at Kartera comes from sweat and stretch. We have a drive and bias for action and impact in everything we do.

Never settle

We constantly push, rethink, and rework to get 10x further from where we are now. We aren’t afraid to be ambitious — and we’re always looking for the next big thing.

Think deeper

We believe logic, reason, and common sense prevail over everything else in decision making. We dive deep until we get to atoms. If we don’t know something – we bet, collect the data, and iterate.
