About us

Our team

NZ-based, global expertise

Our HQ is located in downtown Wellington, but our talented team is comprised of 15 different nationalities. We’re from places like China, South Africa, Brazil, The Netherlands, and Lower Hutt. We're determined to help everyday Kiwis invest towards their future and reach their financial goals. Our team, who design, build, and care for the app (and you), have financial goals too. In fact, many of us are active Tempo customers. And we know – no matter how good our intentions – it can be hard to stay the course. Setting a long-term plan can help make your goals more attainable.
Check out some of the financial goals our team are working towards.
