Evghenii is also a supporter of Fintech Without Frontiers, an initiative led by Ozone API which connects displaced tech talent with opportunities in the fintech sector.

Evghenii said: “I am very excited to join Ozone API, which is respected and well-known across the world due to its market-leading products and its leaders’ role in the creation of the UK Open Banking Standard. My main goal will be to create products which offer a seamless user experience, are easy-to-use and enable customers to benefit from open API technology.
“It is a great time to be joining Ozone API. As Open Banking moves towards Open Finance, the market is dynamic, innovative and fast-moving. The world is becoming more open and I look forward to playing my part in the development of this game-changing sector.”
