Sales Director - PSP

About us:

BVNK provides modern payments infrastructure for businesses. We unify banks and blockchains in a single platform. With BVNK, businesses can send and receive stablecoin payments, convert between currencies and add stablecoin payments to their checkout. Using our flexible platform, and robust global licensing and compliance expertise, innovators can launch new payments products quickly and compliantly.

We are a diverse team spread across the UK, USA, Europe and Africa. We share the belief that blockchain technology presents a new base layer for global payments, where funds can move as freely as data moves on the internet.
