As an early pioneer of open banking, we’re actively shaping the future of this industry with unrivalled expertise and a relentless focus on innovation.

What we’re looking for: As we scale our business and prepare for accelerated product-led growth, we are looking for a proactive and experienced individual to take on a hybrid role that bridges project management and business analyst in a role we are calling Business Systems Analyst. Our immediate strategic focus is to extend our existing Open Banking PIS and AIS infrastructure to offer payment and settlement services. As a result of moving into the money flow and being EMI regulated, we will deliver and enhance a number of internal tools and platforms that support robust and efficient operating of the business.
