About Recharge.com

What started in 2003 as an idea to digitize credit, has grown into an international scale-up with an annual turnover of 300 million euros in 2020. The hyper-fast growth of the past five years has been spurred on by the development of new products and channels as well as market expansions. The head office has been in Amsterdam since day one, but the company now operates in more than 140 countries worldwide.

“The team consists of over 120 international, go-getting Rechargers. What unites us is our mission to help everyone worldwide to buy, send or exchange digital value as simply and safely as possible – anytime, anywhere.” – Günther Vogelpoel, CEO

During the pandemic, the relevance of the Recharge.com proposition has become more evident than ever before. and it has seen close to sixty percent growth by 2020. Thanks to a 22 million euro capital injection by technology investor Prime Ventures, Recharge.com is preparing for even faster global growth. The growth ambitions are impressive: within two years, a turnover of 1 billion euros is planned.

In order to no longer become the European but rather the global leader of the branded payments market, the Product Development department will step up its game. They are hiring a Product Owner who will outline an unparalleled e-commerce experience for the core product – the shop.
