Account Manager

How do you want to pay? It’s a question you’ve answered on-screen or in-person thousands of times, but your choices have always been limited. Imagine the flexibility to pay however you want – credit, debit, multiple currencies, frequent flyer miles, loyalty points, or digital payments - all on the same card or digital wallet. Sound impossible? Episode Six makes the seemingly impossible happen every day. 

We’re a global provider of API-based payment processing and wallet management infrastructure. We’re 100% cloud-native, hyper-configurable, and a “Top 10 Place to Work in Fintech.” And we’re changing how people think about payments.
