We’ve had a lot of exciting news the past few weeks, all focused on continuing our growth and increasing access to faster payments to empower more workers. That means we’re rapidly expanding and scaling our teams.
Shifting to a remote-first culture has allowed Branch to bring in talent from across the country, create new opportunities to collaborate, and provide our employees the flexibility to work wherever they want in the US. It’s also allowed us to consider new regions to foster talent.
While Branch remains first and foremost a remote-centric culture, we also see a lot of value in offering the option of an in-person learning environment. That’s why we’re excited to share that we’ll be opening a new hub in Tampa. Our first outside of Minneapolis headquarters, this new office will welcome and grow new talent in the region as we also offer remote opportunities across the country.
