The Nomod storyDubai, since 2018

No more drama, that's why we exist

In 2018, Aamir started a fitness business in Dubai and couldn’t get set up to take card payments. So we built a small app called Lunatap to help him. When we saw it in action, we wondered what it would look like if every small business starting out had its own Lunatap. That’s Nomod, short for no more drama.

Our mission

To put easy payments in the hands of every small business, not just the ones big enough to jump through hoops.

What we're building

A financial operating system. Card payments in person and online today, then holding money, spending it, making payments and fast access to credit.

How we work

The 13 rules we actually use

These are not aspirations. They are how decisions get made here, every day.

01

Transparency and trust

We’re truly transparent, which means we share information, help each other out, trust each other and trust others.

02

Casual, but not informal

We’re easy going, flexible and dress well, but we’re never sloppy, late or unreliable.

03

Either do it really well, or don’t

We know what we’re good at and we do it to the best of our abilities, or we don’t do it at all.

04

Customer passion

We’re aware of our competition, but we focus passionately on our customers.

05

We’re ever curious

We are never done learning.

06

We cannibalise

We’re not afraid to take something that works and tear it apart to make something bigger and bolder.

07

Think big, act fast

Small is small.

08

Ownership and accountability

We never say that’s not my job.

09

Less is more

We accomplish more with less.

10

Brutal feedback

We don’t do each other a disservice by not saying what we really think.

11

Leadership

The inability to decide is far worse than taking a bad decision.

12

Listen, then speak

We listen attentively and speak candidly.

13

Results

We focus on delivering the right outcomes, on time.

Ownership. Having full ownership of my work has made the role much more interesting, and it’s never felt boring. I’ve seen the culture in the transparency, collaboration and trust within the team.
