About The Company

Back in 2007 our client saw an opportunity to fundamentally change the landscape of traditional merchant acquiring, by using its technology assets and acumen to address the unique needs of online merchants of all sizes. This led to them to evolve into a merchant acquiring bank specialising in cross-border eCommerce. The company now has more than 200 employees globally and operations spread across Europe, the US, the UK, Malta, Israel, Japan and China.

Having already secured banking licenses across three continents, it currently focuses on enabling global payment service providers (PSPs) and merchants to enter into the lucrative European eCommerce market, by providing acquiring and processing capabilities in more than 30 countries in Europe.Potential partners and customers can choose from a portfolio of services - such as bank acquiring for their online card processing and/or payment gateway technology solutions - those that best meet their specific payment needs and gaps in their eCommerce ecosystem.

If you enjoy being a part of a team, yet know how to shine on your own, if you are inspired by the thought of helping to provide a NextGen service used by leading online businesses worldwide — you'll fit right in at our client.
