Software Developer

At Xe, we live currencies. We provide a comprehensive range of currency services and products, including our Currency Converter, Market Analysis, Currency Data API and quick, easy, secure Money Transfers for individuals and businesses. We leverage technology to deliver these services through our website, mobile apps and over the phone.

Last year, we helped nearly 300 million people access information about the currencies that matter to them, and over 350,000 people used us to send money overseas. Thousands of businesses relied on us for information about the currency markets, advice on managing their foreign exchange risk or trusted us with their business-critical international payments.

At Xe, we share the belief that behind every currency exchange, query, or transaction is a person or business trying to accomplish something important, so we work together to develop new and better currency services that put our customers first.
