About
Viktoria Soltesz is a prominent figure in the payment and banking sector, currently leading PSP Angels Group, an independent, "no-commission" payment and banking consultancy.
The educational branch of the Group is The Soltesz Institute, the home of the first and only EU MBA in Payments and Banking.
With a unique approach, she focuses on building standards for the payment and banking industry and gaining recognition for the profession as a standalone business function rather than treating it as part of finance.

Throughout her career, Viktoria has authored the bestseller Moving Money: How Banks Think and The CPayO: Chief Payment Officer, The Role Which Doesn't Exist (But Should!), along with several insightful articles addressing critical industry issues, including the implications of regulatory changes for financial providers and the importance of understanding payment data.
Her work highlights the everyday payment and banking challenges faced by businesses globally while helping FinTechs and banks operate more efficiently.
As a thought leader, her mission is to set standards and build an ethical and transparent payment and banking industry where everyone is properly trained and informed, and no one benefits from anyone's lack of knowledge.
