Hi Geir! Thanks for joining us today. Could you give an overview of the R&D teams at Neonomics?

We have seen very strong growth in the last year, onboarding several very large customers and even more fintechs. With that commercial growth we have had to enhance our technical development as well to better meet the needs of our customers in many different markets. This year, we have recently enhanced our technical team to better meet the needs of our customers.

As a start-up scaling up, we have developed core teams that work dynamically across our product offerings to maximize what we can offer to our customers and end-users.

The teams we have now are:

• UAPI Team– Responsible for the Unified API for our Payment Initiation Service (PIS) and Account Information Service (AIS) for all banks we support across Europe
• Developer/Client Experience Team– Responsible for delivering solutions to make it easier to use our products, both internally and externally
• Data Services – Responsible for storing, anonymizing, analyzing, monetizing, and reporting of our data both internally and externally
• Value Added Services – Responsible for building additional layers of offerings on top of our platform
• Payments Team– Responsible for building payment solutions on top of our API. One example is our Checkout solution with several new products soon to be released
• Support Responsible – Providing expert domain knowledge for all the other teams across key areas
• Architecture – Responsible for our platform vision and shall assist the teams with architecture and design
• Quality Assurance – Responsible for our test strategy and shall assist the teams with testing and test automation
