Meet the Company Changing the Fintech Space for Women
Alkami Technology, a provider of the nation’s fastest growing and most successful digital banking platform, knows that in order for a business to meet the needs of its customers, it must first exceed the needs of its employees. And that they sure do.
In an anonymous review on Fairygodboss, one woman who’s worked at the company says “Alkami is a company intentionally focused on doing the right thing, and that includes how they hire, invest in people, work with clients and more. It is very important that a company values diverse and different perspectives.”

The company, which has also been recognized as one of American Banker’s Best Places to Work in Fintech, actively advocates for the wellness and work-life balance of its employees. Its professional development programs, perks and benefits are more than resources employees can use to build healthy relationships with work and life — they demonstrate the company’s commitment to cultivating an enjoyable experience for employees both inside and outside of work.
We recently got the inside scoop on what those policies look like, as well as what women can expect from pursuing a career here. Check out what Alkami had to say below.
