Cohen, chairman of the board of directors of FTAC Olympus Acquisition Corp said in the release. "Its proven ability to facilitate the overall growth of e-commerce through capabilities such as B2B payment digitization, global risk and compliance infrastructure, and the enablement for SMBs to rapidly grow and scale sets Payoneer apart. I couldn't be more excited about this transaction which will allow this talented team to accelerate their growth strategy and continue to democratize access to global commerce."
