Apex Fintech Solutions Company Culture & Values

How does your culture influence hiring and retention as you grow?

We call it “GREAT in every seat,” and we’ve defined GREAT — Grit, Results, Empathy, Accountability and Teamwork — as the everyday behaviors and expectations for every teammate — both our existing employees and the people we hire. “GREAT in every seat” aligns our Interviewer Scorecard with our core foundations. We evaluate candidates across character, role expertise and skills/abilities, artificial intelligence aptitude and culture fit — the behaviors we expect in practice are the GREAT framework. This consistent lens keeps expectations equitable as we scale and helps us hire people who think like owners, embrace change, put clients first, innovate for lasting impact and collaborate inclusively — agile, purpose‑driven builders who move outcomes forward.

Retention comes from keeping our promise: Embrace Change. Solve Big. Win Together. From the start we set clear, outcome-focused goals, use consistent feedback loops and create mobility across teams so people can grow with us. When teams see that the same behaviors we hire for are the ones we reward and develop, they stay engaged, perform with speed and quality and win together as one team.

What values or behaviors most define your company culture today?

Our foundation is a practical, people-first set of values: Think like an owner and operate ethically; embrace change and evolve together; put the client first; innovate for lasting impact; and be collaborative, respectful and inclusive. GREAT makes those values observable every day. Grit means we persevere with extreme urgency and finish strong. Results means we prioritize impact, ship fast and don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Empathy starts with discovering the “why,” playing back needs in plain english and designing for clients and teammates. Accountability is visible ownership — say it, do it, no surprises. Teamwork is “one team,” clear decision rights and sharing knowledge freely.

We’re agile by design. We invite people who solve problems in ambiguity, take initiative across functions and move outcomes forward without waiting to be asked. That combination of owner mindset and one-team collaboration is how we scale while keeping culture intact.

Can you share an example of how your team recognizes or celebrates one another’s contributions?

Our top honor, the Apex Summit Award, recognizes a select group whose exceptional contributions propel our company and reflect our values. It’s peer‑nominated year‑round, with colleagues submitting stories tied to be GREAT. An executive committee reviews nominations and selects honorees, who are celebrated at our companywide town hall, where we share their impact, thank the teams behind them and spotlight client outcomes. Summit honorees go above and beyond, demonstrating innovation, collaboration and excellence — the pinnacle of professional achievement here.

We also celebrate the everyday wins through WorkTango, where peers recognize one another in real time for behaviors that move the business forward. And for more formal, year‑round feedback, we use anytime feedback in Workday. It lets teammates and leaders share praise and constructive input as work happens and those notes roll into the performance review so growth and recognition aren’t limited to a single moment. Together, these practices reinforce our core foundations, keep momentum high and ensure people feel seen, supported and motivated to grow with us.
