Snowdrop provides pioneering solutions centered around transaction enrichment and geospatial services in partnership with Google Maps and Visa. Our clients are financial service providers such as banks, FinTechs, and payment providers, and the biggest brands in the Transportation, Travel, and Real Estate sectors across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Our focus is to enable clients to create compelling consumer experiences by cleaning up messy payment information and instead providing clear merchant names, logos, and categories. Our leading solutions enable consumers to understand where each transaction took place, visualize their spending habits, and use new features such as sustainability / ESG tags and spending insights.

We are looking for talented people to join our international team – people who want to have a big impact not only on the future direction and growth of the company but across the broader industry and touch the lives of millions of consumers through our partnerships and our expanding customer base.
