“Open Banking payments in the UK have grown massively in the last five years, as highlighted by the various use cases including HMRC's Pay-by-Bank solution, however as part of our growth ambitions we are looking to grow our presence outside of the UK as well,” said James Hickman, chief commercial officer of Ecospend. “We believe Lord Holmes will be a key part in that process.”
