We’ve worked hard to create a warm and welcoming environment for our tech entrepreneurs and it’s really encouraging to see Money Jar’s ambitious growth plans and their progress to date. I wish the team all the very best with this next stage.”

Johan Reveillard, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder, Money Jar said: “The leading-edge technologies that underpin the Money Jar platform are security, functionality, and usability. 

With these new roles, we will continue to challenge traditional financial institutions and their offering, as they will need to invest considerably on top of the gathering wave of financial industry disruption," he added.

The expansion of the company has been supported by investment from Enterprise Ireland through its 'High Performance Start Up' programme. 

Jenny Melia, manager of the technology and services team, Enterprise Ireland said: “Ireland’s reputation for Fintech excellence continues with Money Jar.
