About the Client

Our client is a high-growth payment service provider (PSP) operating in high-risk verticals such as iGaming, Forex, and Crypto.

They process millions each month across cards, APMs, and crypto, building next-generation infrastructure with AI-based routing, advanced fraud prevention, and cascading systems across Europe, LATAM, and Africa.
