The company will deepen its presence in European markets, support collaboration in the industry, and contribute to regulatory and technological advancements that offer advantages to both businesses and consumers.
The group aims to foster a digital economy while focusing on complete compliance with regulatory requirements both globally and locally, focusing on the needs and demands of its partners and businesses in the industry, as well as their clients.
The bank expressed positive sentiments regarding the alliance, saying that it joins at a time when the region’s fintech ecosystem is rapidly evolving. The membership is key to supporting Banking Circle’s goal to offer increased speed, transparency, and cost-efficiency by improving interoperability across domestic and international payment rails.
