We represent a range of corporate and institutional transaction-bankingemployers building out their payments operations right now, driven by the EUInstant Payments mandate and the market-wide move to ISO 20022. We’re buildinga shortlist of senior payment-operations professionals who can sit between thepayment engine and the business – and we place them across onshore DACH, UKoperations hubs, and the nearshore centres (Poland, Portugal) where thesebanks run their payments operations.
