SMBs employ 67% of the labor force and contribute 45% of GDP. SMB growth has a large, lasting impact on the economy and the tens of millions of livelihoods they support.

Our payments, credit, digital banking, and B2B e-commerce products transform the trajectory of small businesses and the mindset of their owners. Success means creating $ billions in wealth creation for our clients. Our product suite has something for all businesses, high margins, and large network and data lock-in effects. This is a multi-billion opportunity. Today, First Circle has two products: Capital is a variety of flexible credit products to cater to the SMB’s funding needs, and Connect is a supplier payment and process automation tool.
We shall soon complete the acquisition of a bank license/charter in the Philippines which permits us to build a digital bank for our merchants - deposit & savings accounts, send & receive payments domestic & international, embedded credit - which we seek to deliver in Q2 2022. Secondly, we’re building B2B e-commerce tools to bring our SMB customer base online.
About our culture
First Circle has a strong mission-driven culture. Our team is equally motivated by our social purpose, the intellectual stimulation of solving hard problems, and the commercial potential of our business.
At First Circle, a person’s trajectory is at least as important as their performance. We value youth and diversity because we believe that curiosity and boldness will bring us to the next level. We believe the best team dynamic is the combination of exceptional leaders who are both builders and coaches whose vision is carried out by a team of high potential, high-growth people whose intellect and ethics enable them to carry responsibility far beyond their years of experience.
We categorize our culture as a “supportive meritocracy”. Supportive as we recognize that team’s output is multiple of the sum of individual parts. Meritocracy because the only thing that matters is the contribution to the customer, company, and community.
