  • Building process to manage the integrity of our real time ledger, which covers in the tens of millions money of movements a day and on which all of our trading operations and liquidity management depend

  • Helping to manage our Safeguarding process, which is very complex, expensive and absolutely crucial to the Wise’s ability to operate in any market
