Who we are - the Gini Community

Founded in 2011 Gini is a well-established award-winning FinTech company disrupting the banking, e-commerce, and insurance sector. Our most well-known product is our Gini photo payment software assistant, which is integrated into over 90% of German banking apps. With this and other products, we aim to improve everyone's quality of life by simplifying tedious tasks through automation. What’s special about us: We place a high value on autonomy, which we integrate into our daily work life with flat hierarchies. We have four core values that are essential to our collaboration at Gini: Excellence, Opportunities rather than Risks, Love, and Commitment & Responsibility.
