About Plynk

Money messaging app company Plynk is to fill 40 new positions at its Dublin head office, buoyed by a €25m Series A funding round and aimed at expanding the app into European, Middle East and African markets.
Plynk is looking to fill 40 roles in several departments within the next year. The positions include back-end software engineers, UX designers, mobile app developers and customer service representatives, to be based at its offices near Camden Street.
Plynk was co-founded in 2015 by Charles Dowd and Clive Foley to develop a consumer application enabling instant transfer of money among friends. Linked to users’ Facebook accounts, Plynk users can send money as a message to a single contact or in-group chats. Once a Plynk account is created, users receive a dedicated IBAN and virtual Mastercard for online payments.
The venture uses a third-party payment platform regulated by the UK’s inancial Conduct Authority to operate throughout Europe. Plynk users create accounts similar to bank accounts, which can facilitate money transfers to and from other accounts, e-purchases, and so on. The accounts don’t offer credit cards or overdrafts.
