• Performance Monitoring:
  Review and analyse PSP performance, escalate issues, and propose optimisations for routing efficiency and fallback handling.
• Issue Management:
  Act as a point of contact for discrepancies and missing funds, coordinating closely with internal teams and PSPs to resolve issues.
• Cost Tracking:
  Monitor processing costs and identify inefficiencies or trends that could be optimised to minimise financial leakage.
• Process Improvement:
  Document procedures, configurations, and internal logic, while identifying opportunities to improve workflows and reduce manual overhead.
