The Mission

At this moment we are building the Global Payments Order Manager Platform called OMaaP (Order Manager As A Platform) which will use to process Instant Payments and Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) Credit Transfer payments for all European ING entities and more. This includes new connectivity

to many account management systems and clearinghouses via Payment Engine. Think of real-time and batch processing of high volume asynchronous, stateless communication, resilience patterns, idempotent application design, and much more. The OMaaP platform will process millions of transactions per day.
