Hiroki Takeuchi, co-founder and CEO of GoCardless said: “We’ve spent the past decade optimising bank payments and bringing them into the digital age. Our greatest achievement is building a global bank payment network, connecting disparate payment schemes into one interoperable network – a challenge that our peers and competitors had previously considered insurmountable.
“Now, for the first time, we’ve created a product to open up access to our unique network and we’re excited by the positive reactions so far.”
