Hokodo is at the forefront of revolutionizing B2B payments in the digital landscape. With our Buy Now Pay Later solution for B2B, e-commerce businesses can now offer instant payment terms to their professional clients, even on their first purchase, resulting in an average revenue increase of 40%.
Over 50% of B2B transactions traditionally involve payment terms of 30 or 60 days. As a result, trade credit stands as the primary source of financing for French and European businesses. However, current payment methods do not enable offering payment terms during online sales. Hokodo addresses this issue and is building a fairer and more inclusive e-commerce infrastructure for all stakeholders in the value chain.
With offices in London, Paris, and Vilnius, we serve markets including France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond.
We are seeking candidates who embody intellectual curiosity, entrepreneurial spirit, and authenticity.
Intellectual Curiosity: Our clients and partners describe us as rigorous and structured, and it's true that one of our core values is 'Never be satisfied,' reflecting our constant desire to learn, improve, and challenge the status quo.
Entrepreneurial Spirit: With just 100 team members (as of late 2023), we are at the beginning of our scale-up phase. We are looking for candidates with a strong initiative to help develop the solutions and processes of the future.
Authenticity: We don't try to be someone we're not. We approach our work with kindness and humility. With more than 10 nationalities and a team of founders from France, Belgium, and the UK, we are a diverse group that embraces individuality and rejects conformity
We have an international operational model that knows no boundaries.
As a result, there is a frequent exchange of ideas and collaboration among our colleagues in Paris, London, and Lithuania. Most of our French team members spend a few days in London every quarter, and vice versa. The same holds true for our Lithuanian colleagues.
Since our beginning, we have meticulously documented our processes, emphasizing a strong culture of written communication and a dislike for unproductive meetings. This approach made us remote-friendly long before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
