iGaming Jobs Spotlight: Payment Roles
This month we take an in-depth look at the various roles available in iGaming payments departments.
Payments continues to be one of the most vital departments for any online gambling brand. Their main objectives are to translate complex processes related to on-boarding, KYC, deposits, and withdrawals into seamless and secure processes for clients.
Payments departments also need to remain on top of all the latest developments in this rapidly evolving space, with new technologies and systems introduced into the market on a frequent basis.

This is why experienced and skilled payments personnel are highly sought after in the industry and are rewarded with extremely attractive salary and benefits packages.
