Paymentwall offices

Paymentwall is a global payments platform with Ukrainian roots. The first Paymentwall office was opened in Kyiv in 2004, and still remains one of the main development centers of the company. Currently, over 40 employees work here.

In general, the company’s staff is distributed between 15 offices: San Francisco, Phoenix (Arizona, USA), London, Berlin, Lisbon, Sofia, Moscow, Novosibirsk, Seoul, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hanoi, Manila, Bangalore, and New Delhi.

In 2019, the company plans to grow and scale up to 300 employees.
