Our Journey ShopBack started as a spark of inspiration one night in 2014 when Henry and Joel were brainstorming ideas in Henry's car. That lightbulb moment — earning Cashback while shopping online — was just the beginning. Fueled by the countless possibilities, the team locked themselves in a hotel room for 24 hours to code the very first prototype. Their mission? To revolutionize shopping by helping advertisers market more cost-effectively, while making every purchase more rewarding for shoppers.
Today, ShopBack is the leading shopping, rewards, and payments platform in Asia-Pacific, empowering 45 million shoppers across 12 markets. With 20,000+ partners and over half a million transactions daily, we're redefining the way the world shops. As we expand globally, we're looking for adventurous, driven individuals to help us build The World's Most Rewarding Way to Shop .
