Work–Life Balance in Fintech
Life at Riverty Built on Trust and Responsibility.
When looking for a new job opportunity, uncertainty often lingers in the back of the mind: Will flexibility be real, or just a line in the job description? Will I need to choose between my career and my personal life? Will balance be something I’m promised, but never see in practice?
At Riverty, a fintech built on decades of experience, balance means more than flexible hours or remote working - it's part of our everyday. Our colleagues experiences show that balance isn't just an idea here, it’s something we genuinely live.
Flexibility in Everyday Work – Supporting Employee Well-Being
At Riverty, flexibility means shaping your working day within a clear and reliable framework, guided by shared team agreements. Strong communication tools and dependable IT make it easy to move between home and office as needed. What matters is not where the work takes place, but that goals are met and collaboration stays strong. Within the agreed working hours, teams can coordinate with their leads to find flexible arrangements that support great results while also allowing space for the important personel moments in life.
This approach to flexibility is also about employee well-being, giving people space to stay healthy, motivated, and balanced in their roles.
Senior Enterprise Architect
“ I truly value the option to work also from home – commuting to work every day goes along with loss in terms of time and energy, especially, as we are an international company and my co-workers work at different locations all over the world.”
Senior Key Account Manager
" I’m grateful for a flexible, hybrid work setup that allows me to grow as a Senior Key Account Manager while being more present for my small children.
It’s not always easy to balance both, but having the freedom to create a rhythm that works for my family and my clients makes all the difference."
Customer Operations Specialist
" Hybrid working gives me the flexibility I need. On-site, I really value the exchange and collaboration with my team and other colleagues. At the same time, I enjoy the quiet and the extra time I gain when working from home.
Especially for data-sensitive tasks, deep work, and complex cases that can be handled more efficiently and with fewer distractions. It’s the best mix for both my work and my well-being."
Evolving Leadership – Life at Riverty
For many people, the idea of taking on a leadership role while working part-time can still feel somewhat unrealistic. Carina’s experience shows that it doesn’t have to be. Her story highlights what’s possible when openness is met with trust. Together with her manager, Carina shaped a role that suited her, her team, and the company.
It’s one of the ways Life at Riverty enables career ambitions and personal responsibilities to grow side by side.
Carina,
Project Management Lead
“ After returning from maternity leave, I worked part-time and still got the chance to take on exciting projects, grow into new roles, and today even lead a team. I never felt that part-time made a difference or limited my career path.
At Riverty, I was seen for the impact I made — not the percentage on my contract.”
Work and Life, In Sync
Balance at Riverty isn’t about big gestures, it’s built into everyday life.
It shows up in the small, meaningful moments: stepping away to cheer at a school event, blocking out a quiet hour for deep focus, or adjusting working time to fit personal priorities — always in alignment with team arrangements.
These opportunities aren’t rare exceptions; they’re part of the natural rhythm that keeps our teams connected, productive, and supports a healthy work-life balance.
Tech Engineering Lead
“ Flexibility allows me to meet my professional goals without missing the personal matters - whether it's a school event of my kid or a quick bike repair.”
Senior Product Manager
“What truly sets Riverty apart is its genuine care for employees.
My personal time is respected here, enabling me to enjoy hobbies and maintain a healthy work-life balance."
Senior Product Manager
“Riverty understands that every person has multiple roles in their life - For me I am a Fiancé, Brother, Son, Product Manager and a fitness enthusiast.
Riverty has ways to support me in each role and encourages me to ensure I take the time to nourish all the roles I have in my life because ultimately, all of them are connected - a struggle in one area of your life will quickly carry over to the others.
I truly feel that I am supported by my management and peers to ensure I have a full life!”
Culture That Makes It Possible
Behind every story is a culture of collaboration. Priorities shift, and when they do, teams adapt together. Leaders work side by side with their people, finding practical solutions that keep work and private life in balance. It’s this mutual trust that makes this balance sustainable and strengthens well-being across the company.
Software Engineering Lead
“ One thing that constantly amazes me is how many smart people our Tech Center has brought together, and that I get to work and learn alongside them.
Even when working with colleagues who have 15+ years of experience — and with our leadership — I’ve always felt like an equal member of the team.
The cooperation and collaboration within the team have always been great.”
Senior Software Engineer
“ I really value our open communication culture — being able to share ideas and feedback openly makes collaboration easier and builds real trust in the team.”
Why It Matters for You
For many job seekers, balance often feels like a trade-off: growth or flexibility, career or life.
At Riverty, our colleagues prove it doesn’t have to be either/or. Even though some roles require more structure or a greater on-site presence, our guiding principle remains the same: to provide our people with the support and flexibility they need to succeed in their work while consciously shaping a fulfilling life outside of it.
This is how work–life at Riverty can look – from different perspectives. Depending on role, team, and location.
