About the company

Yapily is an open banking platform offering APIs that let businesses initiate payments and access account data to improve customer payment journeys. The company was founded in 2017 by Stefano Vaccino and is headquartered in London, with regulated-group entities supporting UK and EU connectivity. Yapily sells primarily to fintechs and larger financial services teams that need a single integration layer across many banks. The company’s own updates also frame Yapily as a multi-country European business with offices beyond the UK.

Locations and presence

Yapily is London-headquartered and publicly references a European footprint that includes locations such as Vilnius and Hamburg. Hiring is posted across the UK and parts of Europe, with hybrid and flexible working referenced in company careers messaging.

Palpable Score

55.7

/ 100

Yapily has credible entry points for early-career candidates through junior engineering roles, but public evidence of a steady, repeatable junior intake across teams is limited. The hiring experience looks inconsistent based on candidate reports, while pay transparency is mostly indirect rather than salary-band led.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.2

/ 20

The company lists junior engineering openings like Junior Developer and Junior Backend Engineer, which are realistic entry points for 0–3 year candidates.
Yapily’s publicly visible openings list is small at any given time, so early-career access looks selective rather than high-volume.
The company keeps a direct “send your CV” route open alongside role applications, which can help juniors without perfect keyword matches get considered.

‍

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company has candidate reports describing clear, role-relevant tasks and a thorough process with a positive hiring-manager experience.
Yapily also has candidate reports describing repeated last-minute reschedules and no-shows at late stages, which is a serious fairness risk.
The company does not publish a consistent interview-stage map with timelines on the careers page, so applicants cannot plan time burden upfront.

‍

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.8

/ 20

The company highlights learning and development as a stated culture pillar and frames roles as part of a “mission-driven” team with transparency.
Yapily advertises junior engineering work that sits close to core infrastructure, which can create hands-on learning through ownership of real systems.
The company does not publicly spell out onboarding specifics like buddying, pairing, or a 30-60-90 ramp for junior hires, limiting confidence in day-one support.

‍

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.7

/ 20

The company states early-career-relevant benefits such as stock options, health insurance, and mental health support as standard across staff.
Yapily has a public commitment as an accredited Living Wage Employer, which is a meaningful baseline pay signal for UK-based roles.
The company rarely publishes salary ranges on role adverts, which caps pay fairness confidence for juniors who need clear benchmarks.

‍

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0

/ 20

The company has a moderate volume of employee reviews with a mid-range overall rating and a majority “recommend to a friend,” suggesting mixed experiences rather than clear early-career momentum.
Yapily does not publish early-career outcome metrics like intern conversion, 12–24 month retention, or typical time-to-promotion.
The company has limited public examples of structured internal progression stories for junior roles, so outcomes are hard to validate beyond third-party sentiment.
