We are Tikkie

Tikkie is the most loved payment app in the Netherlands, making it easy for millions of people to request, send and receive money in just a few taps. From splitting a bill with friends to paying a professional or collecting money for a group activity, Tikkie fits seamlessly into everyday life.

Alongside Tikkie Consumer, we offer Tikkie Business, enabling companies, organisations and entrepreneurs to get paid easily, quickly and at scale—online, via QR or through integrated payment solutions. Our organisation is built around these two units: Tikkie Consumer and Tikkie Business, both driven by the same ambition—to take an even more central place in how people and businesses in the Netherlands handle payments, now and in the future.

At Tikkie, we thrive on collaboration, openness, and continuous improvement. We work in cross-functional teams where everyone’s ideas count, and we support each other’s growth. We believe in flexible ways of working, balancing innovation with reliability and fun.
