A bit more about us: Digital transformation is changing our lives, work, and businesses. In financial markets, progress is slower, fragmented, and siloed. We aim for a future-facing financial system for the digital age.

At Fnality, we listen to the real users of today's financial systems. There is a clear ambition for a simpler, faster, safer, and more resilient payment system that can move and settle money quickly and efficiently, with minimized risk and greater transparency.

Fnality Global Payments

We are building a new payment system that will enable tokenised, peer-to-peer markets. Fnality Global Payments (FnGP) will comprise a series of national systems, each regulated in its home jurisdiction. We call each of these a Fnality Payment System (FnPS).

In each payment system, a Fnality settlement asset will act as the settlement/payment asset for any Payment (P), Delivery versus Payment (DvP), or payment vs. payment (PvP) need. FnGP is underpinned by Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which enables FnGP to:

• Allow for immediate settlement
• Interoperate across business platforms and jurisdictions

The key benefits of the above are: reduced counter-party and credit risk; reduced operational risk; efficient liquidity management; and the ability to move resources from risk mitigation to business growth.

This role is a UK-based role and you must be eligible to work in the UK. Please note we cannot sponsor visas for this role.
