Otta's take

Xav Kearney headshot

Xav Kearney

CTO of Otta

Trilo is building a new payments ecosystem with the aim of creating the simplest way possible to pay, whether that's in a shop, online, or sending money to a friend.

Whenever consumers pay with Trilo they'll get a Boost, whether that's a tree being planted, a beer on the house, or simply money off. Giving consumers the best experience they could dream of is Trilo's ambition, which in turn helps with retention and conversion for the merchants driving up sales.

Building entirely greenfield, Trilo has left cards behind and created an ecosystem that works for everyone. Alongside increasing conversion & retention, Trilo has also scrapped transaction fees for good, so merchants can unlock thousands every month. Trilo uses Open Banking in the background, which is powering a lot of the most recent fintech challengers.

Becks is... well Becks, nothing else can describe her. Give her a challenge and she'll nail it, give her a problem and she'll see both sides, give her a bike and she'll fall over the handle bars

Marco has recently taken on the challenge of becoming our CTO, after a year in the team. Give him a coffee machine, video recorder, and a Lucid chart, and he'll make a flow chart of how coffee's made.

The mission here at Trilo is genuinely inspiring. I never thought I'd get to wake up excited to get stuck into work for the day; what we're doing could truly impact the lives of consumers and merchants alike. Personally, I think that's incredible

At Trilo nobody has an ego. Even the most junior members of the team are able to make contributions that will have an impact on how we progress. Discussions are open conversations; challenging each others pre-existing notions to grow as a team and learn from one another as individuals

We have a "from the grounds up" tech-stack. Entirely greenfield to use a cliché. Our code-base is modern, flexible, opinionated and a pleasure to work on. Everything is JavaScript. either Node or client-side.
