Diversity and Culture at Bippit…

because it doesn't belong at the bottom of the page!

Our culture is defined by our team, and we recognise the strength derived from our differences. We look for people who are going to add to our culture, not clones of who we already have. This means:

• We strive to encourage and celebrate diversity and differences in our team & our views
• We listen to each other, respect everyone's needs and create an environment of belonging
• We are open & inclusive by default; we believe there is strength in honesty, transparency and authenticity.

Who are Bippit? What is our mission? 🚀

Financial wellbeing is more important than ever. We are in a climate where 60% of employees say financial matters are their #1 cause of stress, and financial concerns make employees 4x more likely to be clinically depressed.

Bippit is tackling financial wellbeing head on, by helping employees navigate the Cost of Living situation, deal with financial stress, and by supporting businesses, who are losing billions each year due to retention issues and employee engagement.

Thanks to Bippit, every single employee now has free access to 1:1 coaching from a qualified professional, and all the tools they need to manage their financial lives, so they feel less stressed, more secure, and more settled in their job.

So, what is our goal? 🎯

Bippit wants to provide everyone with guidance from a financial expert, no matter their situation, starting point, or bank balance.

We want to create a fairer society, where each of us has the tools and support we need to build a better financial future.
