And How about an opportunity to do the assessment based on our needs and choose the appropriate tech stack to build these new components? Whoever take up this position will have a chance to influence those decisions. Does Banking-as-a-Service, Banking-as-a-platform or Embedded Finance excites you? This position is for you...
