Company Name: Booking
At Booking.com, data drives our decisions. Technology is at our core. But our company is more than datasets, and lines of code. We’re the thrill of the first night in a new place, the excitement of the next morning, the friends you make, the journeys you take, the sights you see, and the food you sample. Through our products, partners and people, we make it easier for everyone to experience the world.
FinTech is an ever-changing, complex and extremely exciting industry. To accomplish Booking.com’s mission, we need to offer a frictionless payment experience to our guests and partners. The FinTech business unit is in charge of creating best in class payment experiences for bookers and merchants, and helps internal clients grow their businesses.
