Reading Time: < 1 minute

Circle, the social payment app, is planning to double staff numbers in their Dublin Offices over the next two years bringing their number of employees to 30.

Circle Co-Founder, Sean Neville, and Marieke Flament, Managing Director of Circle in Europe announced details of Circle’s expanding commitment to the Irish market.

Sean Neville, Co-Founder & President of Product and Operations of Circle:

“As we grow and expand Circle’s presence across Europe, our Irish operations will become a strategic anchor which will continue to expand. We plan to double the size of the Dublin office and add engineering roles as well as operational roles such as customer support, risk, and compliance.”

“Circle launched its US dollar product in November 2015, and followed with £ and € currencies in 2016 — in the UK in April and in Spain and Ireland in October. Circle has millions of customers globally, and after less than a year since our European launch, we are very happy to see hundreds of thousands of European customers embrace new social payment behaviours and Circle’s vision of making money work the way the internet does.”

The Dublin-based digital disruptor has seen a 300% Q on Q growth over the past year with their international expansion into Ireland, Spain, the UK, US and China.

This was facilitated by the $136m investment from Facebook’s investor Jim Breyer and Goldman Sachs amongst others. They are on track to realise $1billion transferred via the app over 12 months.
