Amit Batzir, Co-Founder and CEO at Spott, added: This is another exciting step on the journey for us. We believe in the impact our technology can have on Payoneer’s global customers and today’s announcement means the solution can help more businesses around the world,”
“Payoneer was a natural fit for the vision we have for our technology, and we look forward to working with the team and building for the future.”
