DolarApp was a Mexico-founded fintech (now permanently rebranded as ARQ on 2026-03-02) offering a cross-border financial platform for people in Latin America. It targets travelers, freelancers, remote professionals, investors, and other users who hold, receive, send, spend, and invest across currencies. The company says the rebrand changed the brand and product scope, not the legal entity, accounts, or regulatory arrangements.
Primary product
A mobile international-finance account and wallet: users can convert local currency into digital dollars (USDc) and euros (EURc), receive U.S. ACH/Wire and European IBAN payments, send international payments, use Mastercard cards, earn yield, and access U.S. stocks/ETFs and credit products.
Founded
2021
Headquarters
Mexico City, Mexico (legacy DolarApp company records); current YC company profile lists ARQ in London, UK, so headquarters data is inconsistent.
Team size
Approximately 100; third-party profiles variously report 11–50, 76, 100, or 100+ employees, so this is approximate.

Public recruiting language emphasizes long-term ambition, high conviction, exceptional talent, mission-driven work, and building a major financial institution. Hiring spans multiple international offices and some remote arrangements.

Compensation
No reliable public salary bands were found. Public benefits profiles mention competitive salary, discretionary bonuses/stock options, and sign-on stock. Several job listings specify US-citizen/visa-only eligibility, which indicates role- and location-specific work authorization constraints rather than broad sponsorship.
Benefits
Pricing
Freemium/transaction-based financial platform. The legacy product advertised no annual card fee, transparent/interbank conversion, and a $3 fee for receiving U.S. account payments; newer products such as ARQ Prestige have separate pricing. Existing DolarApp fees were stated not to change at rebrand.
