MEET ASCENDA

Ascenda solutions make loyalty simple for financial institutions globally. Previously, these companies had to endure complex patchworks of third-party systems, complicated data experiences, and 18-month implementation projects to deploy a competitive rewards program. We turn things upside down with loyalty solutions rooted in beautiful design, exceptional customer value, and rapid implementation.

Our Authorizations Team sits at the heart of a distributed system, and plays a role in almost all interactions in our loyalty product. You’ll work with banks & fintechs around the world to enable secure yet flexible access, authentication, and automation that transforms how customers use our rewards platforms, putting Identity at the heart of the banks’ security and growth

We make access to applications safe, secure, and seamless for the millions of users around the world. Our Zero Trust approach to identity enables us to partner banks & their vendors to deliver customised yet secure loyalty experiences for our clients. 

This team is now focused on supercharging our next phase of growth with enabling ecosystem level configurability. You’ll join a team of diverse & talented people solving interesting challenges around configurations, onboarding, observability & event based communications.
