The new hires will work to double the fintech’s market reach for PIS services, expanding presence to ten European countries.

Tribe chief commercial officer Alex Reddish said: “We strongly believe that Open Banking will play a huge part in enabling the frictionless and, eventually, invisible payment experiences of the future. We’re committed to delivering the very best solutions, through inhouse development and key partnerships, to help our clients deliver innovative payments propositions.

“Tribe was the first issuer processor to have launched initial compliance APIs for fintechs to harness the power of Open Banking without developing their own APIs and we’re keen to continue investing in further Open Banking functionality.”
