This authorisation will allow Dojo to launch its own regulated payment services into Ireland and on a cross-border basis into key EU markets for the first time. The EMI authorisation represents a critical milestone for Paymentsense’s international expansion ambitions, having up till now focussed its efforts on the UK market.
Launched in the UK in 2009, Paymentsense has been offering payment services using third parties’ systems, and in Ireland since 2014. In order to provide its own transaction processing system, it launched the Dojo acquiring service in the UK three years ago.
