Head of Community (San Francisco)
Best Friend Finance
Resident assistant job in Los Angeles, CA
About us
UGLYCASH is both a statement and our way to deliver the difference against everything that is wrong with the traditional - the dishonesty protected by the fine print - the cold and distant financial institutions that easily discriminate based on where you are, who you are, or how much money you have.
We want to do things differently; to change the lack of honesty and fine print for candid transparency and brutal honesty, to change the discrimination for global financial inclusion, to change the cold and distant financial institutions situated at the top of buildings, for a human connection with the people that we serve.
To make it possible, we have built things differently - to offer different services we couldn't be them, so we wanted to make it clear through our services, that we are not who they are; we needed our name to be a statement to differentiate ourselves, as we come to do things differently. We don't build trust because of our name. We build trust because of our authenticity, honesty, and human connection. Our name helps us achieve that.
But why? Why do this? We're driven by a deeper human mission - we believe access to stable currency is a human right, and the disparity in access to financial services fuels the inequality gap and mass migration. It is for this reason - for THE PEOPLE - that we exist and why we must win to serve everyone.

Job Description
About us
UGLYCASH is both a statement and our way to deliver the difference against everything that is wrong with the traditional - the dishonesty protected by the fine print - the cold and distant financial institutions that easily discriminate based on where you are, who you are, or how much money you have.
We want to do things differently; to change the lack of honesty and fine print for candid transparency and brutal honesty, to change the discrimination for global financial inclusion, to change the cold and distant financial institutions situated at the top of buildings, for a human connection with the people that we serve.
To make it possible, we have built things differently - to offer different services we couldn't be them, so we wanted to make it clear through our services, that we are not who they are; we needed our name to be a statement to differentiate ourselves, as we come to do things differently. We don't build trust because of our name. We build trust because of our authenticity, honesty, and human connection. Our name helps us achieve that.
But why? Why do this? We're driven by a deeper human mission - we believe access to stable currency is a human right, and the disparity in access to financial services fuels the inequality gap and mass migration. It is for this reason - for THE PEOPLE - that we exist and why we must win to serve everyone.
