Additionally, moneycorp’s beneficiary validation micro service enables Shortlist to embed API services within their platform to validate banking details while reducing errors and saving time and money.

Flexible work schedules, remote working and regulatory changes are causing more working professionals to turn to or consider freelance employment. 

Joey Frasier, CEO of Shortlist added, “The rise of freelance/contract and remote work has created a greater need than ever before for workforce platforms such as ours. With innovative partners like moneycorp, we can better serve our customers by having more control and visibility into the payment lifecycle while simultaneously easing their primary pain points when it comes to international payments for freelance & contract workers.
