Obtaining this license guarantees the company the opportunity to carry out full-scale activities in the British financial services market. Now the firm has the right to interact with UK brands. The receipt of this license and the corresponding intention preceding it confirms the desire of the payment company to fill its niche in the British digital finance market.

James Allum, CEO of Payoneer Payments Services UK Ltd and SVP Europe, said that the FCA is traditionally a kind of standard in the field of regulation of the financial industry, whose actions are monitored around the world and perceived as the decisions of the regulator as a guideline. He also announced his intention to improve the quality of customer service and readiness to interact with FCA.

James Allum stated that the firm’s clients in the UK, after obtaining a license, can be confident in the continued ability of Payoneer to provide regulated financial services of the highest standard.

The company is currently licensed to operate in the UK, Europe, USA, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and India and is awaiting EMI in Singapore.
