Project Owner PSD2 / Open Banking

Who we are

Tate’s mission is to make managing essential services easier and more efficient. We started from energy and gas supplies because they are some of the most traditional and opaque services in Italy. Switching provider and managing services we use everyday should be fast and easy, but that’s often not the case. We believe in user-friendly, engaging and awesome user experiences.

Our approach is based on transparency: we offer clear and fair prices and we struggle to build a brand people can trust. We want to build products that users want to use and that are really helpful in everyday life. Our work methodology is simple: no gimmicks, maximum impact; we work in a coworking space full of startups because we don’t believe in closed teams and we love contamination with other digital businesses; everyone in the team takes on quickly multiple responsibilities because we want the product and the business grow fast and in parallel with our people.

Energy and gas supplies are just the starting point for us. We want to offer more value to our users by integrating new services, creating our own wallet of services with a focus on providing a superior UX across our offers. We are looking for smart, humble and driven people to join us in this journey. If that sounds interesting and you think you have the right skills and mindset, we should get in touch.
