Dima Kats

Dima Kats has more than two decades’ experience in the fintech industry. His career commenced in 2000 when he joined E4X, a company providing FX conversion for online global merchants. After seven years, he moved to Payoneer as VP of Product responsible for the former Soviet Union countries and Commonwealth of Independent States. This evolved into Payoneer’s largest market. In 2012, Dima began consulting payment, fintech and financial companies. He saw a trend in clients asking how to build certain payment and banking relationships, and it became clear that access to those banking services and relationships needed to be improved. He founded Clear Junction in 2016 to give financial institutions the payment services that they were missing but deserve. With a niche in correspondent banking, Clear Junction provides payment services to financial institutions, banks, remittance companies, payment service providers and crypto companies. Dima believes each of these segments have been badly underserved and unbanked in recent years due to risk considerations of processing payments for other financial institutions. He built Clear Junction with the right AML and KYC controls, risk management, methodology, and technology to handle those risks properly. About one-third of Clear Junction’s technology is tasked with risk management.
