About the company

Current is a U.S. consumer fintech focused on everyday banking features like getting paid early, earning APY on savings, fee-free overdraft, and family banking. Recent job descriptions describe Current as a consumer fintech platform with “over five million members”, while an employer profile lists “over four million members”, so the public member count varies by source. The company positions the work as building banking and payments products that rely heavily on risk, compliance, data, and engineering teams. Current’s hiring materials consistently frame the mission around improving financial outcomes for members.

Locations and presence

Current is headquartered in New York, NY, with a Chelsea office location noted in employer materials. Current is described as a hybrid workplace on an external employer profile, while several roles are explicitly listed as in-office.

Palpable Score

58.2

/ 100

Current offers a real slice of early-career access through 1–3 year “Analyst” roles and publishes salary ranges plus benefits, which is rare in fintech job ads. The score is held back by limited public evidence of structured early-career development and mixed candidate experience signals in interview feedback.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.5

/ 20

The company lists a Risk Operations Analyst role with “1–3 years of experience”, which is a genuine early-career entry point in a core business function.
Current posts multiple “Analyst” roles that sit in the 2+ year range, including Compliance Analyst (Complaints) and Law Enforcement Compliance Analyst, giving grads with 1–3 years a plausible step in.
The company does not show a visible internship, apprenticeship, or graduate pipeline in the public roles reviewed, which caps volume-based entry access.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.2

/ 20

The company’s job ads spell out concrete responsibilities and “ABOUT YOU” criteria, including specifics like rotational coverage expectations in Risk Operations and statutory deadlines and SLAs in Law Enforcement Compliance.
Current includes base salary ranges in multiple postings (for example $70k–$96k for Risk Operations Analyst, and $85k–$110k for several compliance roles), reducing guesswork for early-career candidates.
The company has multiple negative interview reports describing ghosting and poor follow-up after scheduled interviews, which is a direct fairness and respect issue for applicants.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

10.5

/ 20

The company lists biannual performance reviews as a standard benefit in role materials, which is at least a baseline mechanism for feedback and growth conversations.
Current explicitly calls out feedback and continuous learning expectations in Risk Operations (“embraces feedback and continuous learning”) and encourages asking questions to get unstuck, which is useful for newer hires.
The company does not publicly describe structured onboarding, mentoring, or a defined early-career progression path in the roles reviewed, so support signals stay mostly informal.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

16.5

/ 20

The company publishes salary ranges across several roles and repeats that compensation is assessed during the interview process, which is stronger transparency than many comparable fintechs.
Current includes equity as part of the total rewards language and also lists a 401(k) plan, plus discretionary bonus language in multiple places.
The company lists unusually strong benefit details for a startup-scale employer, including medical, dental, and vision premiums covered at 100% for employees and dependents, and a generous parental leave policy (24 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers, 12 weeks for secondary).

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.5

/ 20

The company shows repeat hiring activity across operational early-career tracks (risk and compliance analyst roles posted within the last month), which is one practical sign of ongoing junior opportunity rather than one-off hiring.
Current’s LinkedIn company page lists a broad 51–200 employee range, but there is no public, role-level evidence of junior promotion rates, retention over 12–24 months, or internship-to-full-time conversion.
The company lacks published early-career outcome proof points like internal mobility stories, junior career ladders, or alumni progression summaries, so outcomes have to be scored conservatively.
