Cross-Border Payments Analyst

Cross-border payments coordination across APAC counterparty institutions requires operational fluency with regional rail systems, settlement timing realities, and currency corridor logistics that differ structurally from Americas and European operating models. The Singapore operational anchor manages this coordination layer for Aspera Edge.

The Cross-Border Payments Analyst operates this coordination — managing settlement execution, currency corridor logistics, and rail integration across APAC counterparty operations spanning Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, Mumbai, and the broader APAC operational region.

Operate cross-border payments coordination across APAC institutional counterparties. Manage settlement execution and currency corridor logistics across APAC operating jurisdictions, with particular focus on regional rail integration and settlement timing realities.

The Analyst owns operational fluency with APAC rail systems — Pix-equivalent instant rails, UPI in India, PromptPay in Thailand, FAST in Singapore, RTGS networks, and emerging APAC instant payment infrastructure — and translates this fluency into operational coordination across counterparty institutions operating in the region.

Day-to-day, the role coordinates with the Senior Manager — Liquidity & Capital Operations on cross-currency liquidity positioning, with the Operational Integrity Analyst on APAC rail integration performance, with Banking Relationship Manager on APAC banking counterparty operations, and with Operational Continuity Analyst on APAC cross-jurisdictional handoff coordination.

The function operates against the reality that APAC payments infrastructure is structurally heterogeneous — currency corridors operate with different settlement timing, different banking infrastructure, different regulatory frameworks, and different operating rhythms across the region.
