Fancy is a pioneering financial rewards platform that transforms rent payments into financial opportunities for renters in the U.S. By offering meaningful cashback rewards, flexible payment options, and personalized financial insights, Fancy addresses the critical challenges faced by renters while creating value for property managers and advertisers.
Fancy’s mission is to empower renters by alleviating financial stress and turning rent - a traditionally inflexible and unrewarding expense - into a source of financial empowerment. The platform creates a connected ecosystem where renters, property owners, and advertisers benefit from innovative solutions.
The Role
As a Product Designer at Fancy, you will craft intuitive, engaging, and user-centered experiences that elevate how consumers and partners interact with our app and portals.
