Why we're building MAJORITY Group
Magnus LarssonCo-founder and CEO, MAJORITY Group
The financial system works. For a minority.
It was built for the settled, the already served. For lives that fit inside one country, one bank, one phone plan. If your life crosses a border, it has one word for you: RISK.
The system calls it risk. We call it ambition.
Look closer.
We are 300 million people living outside the country where we were born, connected to more than a billion people across borders; family members and friends. The dreamers and the doers, the movers and the shakers, the newcomers and the late bloomers. Together we would be the largest country in the world. Still they call us a minority.
Crossing a border is the boldest decision a person can make. We work harder. We hustle. We call home before we unpack. We send money home before we spend it on ourselves. What do we get in return? A system that asks for a history we never had. It charges the most to those just getting started. It puts a tax on love: a cut of every dollar sent home, a fee on every call to your mother, a markup on every top-up you send her.
We are rebuilding the system to enable everyone to thrive and succeed beyond borders. Because borders are not only lines on a map. There is the town you were born in, the accent you speak with, the credit file you were never given. Everyone has a border between where they are and where they could be. We are the people determined to cross them.
- We believe technology, beautifully built, can tear those borders down.
- We believe money should move like a message: in seconds, across any border, for free.
- We believe a call home should feel like a call next door: clear, simple, never a luxury.
- We believe community is financial infrastructure. No one builds a new life alone.
- We believe doing right by the many is the greatest business in the world.
For generations, the system had an excuse: serving everyone cost too much. That excuse just died.
We are building for lives that span borders: a membership that saves you money, credit that starts from where you are going, not where you have been, a line home that is always open, a top-up that lands before the thank-you, one home for the one who sends and the one who receives. And above it all: a friend you never knew you needed. You never come looking for us; we are already there, in the app, on the web, in your favorite messaging tool, inside an AI you already trust, doing the worrying so you can do the living. Someone who has your back, from the first call home, through the first paycheck, to the home you finally build. The best product is the one you never have to look for.
MAJORITY GROUP is more than a group of companies. It is a movement for those who dare. And when we must choose, we choose:
- Clarity over fine print.
- Access over prejudice.
- Trust before judgment.
- The long journey over the quick exit.
Who are we?
Under everything we build sits a foundation of who we are. It is the journey of ambition, obsession and perseverance, lived inside the company, together.
We are massive believers in equal opportunity. Not equal outcomes. Your place here is earned by what you deliver, never by tenure, title, or noise.
There are no brilliant jerks at MAJORITY. Individual brilliance never exceeds the power of togetherness, and we have let brilliant people go to prove it.
We hire the sharpest people we find, then we choose attitude over skill. Skills expire. Curiosity compounds. We are students first, whatever our titles say.
We demand transparency, and transparency is what starves politics. When everyone can see who is deciding, who is stuck, who is delivering, and who just made a mistake, there is nothing left to whisper about. People adapt to the truth.
We keep our promises. To members, to customers, to partners, to each other. Say what you will do. Then do it.
We accept failure. More than that, we require it. We even celebrate it. We have "A fuck up of the Year Award". No mistakes means we moved too slowly. The only failure we refuse is the hidden one.
We move with speed, because anyone here can make a decision if they can answer yes to two questions: Is it good for the customer? Is it good for the business? Two yes, and you move. No meeting, no permission. Only your name on it.
As a group, we serve more than 1,000,000 customers today. More than a billion people live beyond borders. This is our generational moment. Most things still remain to be done.
You were never a minority.Together, we move mountains.Together, we are MAJORITY.
