The ShopBack Group has now grown to become the leading shopping, rewards, and payments platform in Asia-Pacific, with 45 million shoppers across 12 markets and more than half a million transactions powered for 20,000 partners daily. Fresh off its debut in the European market, ShopBack is seeking thrill-seekers to join the journey of building The World's Most Rewarding Way to Shop. Get ready for the ride of a lifetime: a blend of startup spirit woven into a solid business foundation.
