In this week’s FinTech’s DEI Discussions podcast, our Chief Impact Officer, Amanda Jenkins, shares how inclusion at 10x Banking is engineered into everyday decision‑making, and product delivery. It’s a candid look at why psychological safety isn’t just good culture – it’s a competitive advantage in engineering and product, where diverse perspectives and experimental thinking make better tech possible.
Amanda’s conversation underscores a simple truth: inclusion is the operating system for high performing teams. By making listening inevitable and transparency routine (think anonymous questions at all hands and leadership responses that close the loop) 10x builds trust that unlocks creativity and velocity. For women in tech, that means you can bring your full skillset to work and expect your voice to shape outcomes.
Values that scale inclusion
From day one, 10x embedded three values into its culture: transformation, integrity, and impact. Impact is about making the world a 10x better place and it isn’t just a slogan; it’s audited and public. 10x is a Certified B Corporation, signaling high standards of social and environmental performance and accountability. In 2025, we also joined the UN Global Compact, aligning our practices with the Ten Principles across human rights, labor, environment, and anti corruption.
Our annual Impact Report documents progress across people, community, and planet, from tracking environmental data and reducing emissions to strengthening programs that support equity and inclusion. Initiatives like 10xcelerate focus on women’s development and advocacy, making growth paths visible and achievable.
