The Mission

Payment & Settlement Services (PSS) is a professional service provider designing, building and operating high quality and efficient payment, settlement and open banking services. We leverage our scalable payments target stack and the expertise of our people, to deliver these services.

PSS owns the generic part of the payments value chain from a Tech, Business and Operations perspective, while the business line own the segment/country specific parts. This allows us to focus on delivering efficient payments and settlement services. The business line can focus on delivering a differentiating customer experience, levering the services provided by PSS but also heading towards the commoditization of payments.
