Join Pomelo as a Data Lead

Pomelo’s mission is to increase financial access and empowerment for immigrants and their loved ones back home.

We are proud to be the first financial technology platform to combine consumer credit and global remittances. Our product addresses the challenges of money transfer by allowing our customers to use credit rather than cash. Additionally, we help immigrants establish their financial future in their new country by building positive credit history with their existing remittance obligations, and we empower their loved ones in emerging economies with access to modern financial instruments.

We’re a growing team of approximately 45 employees at our San Francisco headquarters. Our investors include noteworthy figures such as Keith Rabois of Khosla Ventures (formerly of Founders Fund, CEO at Opendoor, former COO of Square) and Kevin Hartz (Co-founder/CEO of Xoom and Eventbrite) of A* Capital, along with The Chainsmokers, The Weeknd, and more.
