The fact that digital marketplaces and platforms are opening their doors to foreign sellers, publishers and talent also played a major role, the company said.

Payoneer country manager for the UK Daniel Mayhew said: “London is a huge tech and innovation hub, yet UK businesses have historically focused on a domestic-first approach. Our mission is to help these businesses take advantage of the incredibly lucrative markets that exist internationally.

“We felt it was crucial to open up a physical office in the UK at this junction to offer more support to the local business community.”

Payoneer CEO Scott Galit said: “As Brexit looms, there’s an increased interest among many UK businesses to look to new markets for growth, like the US, Asia and Latin America.  At Payoneer, we are experts helping businesses expand into international markets and capitalize on growth opportunities in the new global digital economy.
