Solance is the new tier in finance. We're a bold new player, specialised in helping clients with complex corporate structures access the kind of financial services they've always struggled to get. Think UBS's service DNA spliced with Revolut's tech genius; Solance is that hybrid, engineered for the best client experience you've ever had.   Our EMI license is in progress, and we're gearing up for launch end of Q3, 2026. We are building Solance from scratch: processes, culture, products, and a brand that sets a whole new standard. If you're ambitious, hungry, and ready to step into a key role where you will help shape our future success, this could be the opportunity for you.   As part of this journey, we're searching for a Senior QA Manual Tester (aka 'the one who finds it before our clients do'), someone who treats every payment flow as guilty until proven innocent. You bring deep expertise in payments and FX, along with a broader fintech toolkit spanning onboarding, operational tasks, cards, and mobile pay. You know that in a payments business the difference between "it works" and "it works every single time" is the whole game, and you take quiet pride in being the person who spots the edge case everyone else missed.  You'll own end-to-end manual testing across our payments infrastructure, act as the quality champion across product and engineering, and put AI tooling to work building scalable test knowledge assets that lift the standard for the entire organisation, not just the next release.  You'll work shoulder to shoulder with product, engineering, operations, and compliance to make sure every platform flow and capability is tested to a standard worthy of our obligations under CBI, DORA, GDPR, ISO 27001, and Payment and Mastercard scheme requirements. Regulators, partners, and clients all expect us to get this right the first time; your job is to make sure we do.  Requirements   5+ years of manual QA experience in a fintech, payments, or banking environment.  Demonstrable hands-on testing experience across at least three of: SEPA CT/DD, SWIFT (MT or MX), FPS, BACS, CHAPS, SPEI, TARGET2, or equivalent payment rail.  Strong working knowledge of ISO 20022 messaging and legacy payment message formats (MT103, MT202, pain.001/002/008).  Proven experience testing FX or multi-currency payment products.  Excellent communication skills, ability to explain complex payment behaviours clearly to non-technical stakeholders.  Track record of coaching developers and/or product managers to improve test plan quality and acceptance criteria.  Active use of AI tools (LLMs, AI writing assistants, or AI-augmented test tooling) to build knowledge bases or generate test artefacts.  Experience in Agile/Scrum environments with strong story-level QA engagement.  Proficiency in defect management tools (JIRA or equivalent) and test case management platforms.    It would even be better if you also have:   Experience in a CBI-regulated EMI, PI, or equivalent EU/UK regulated payments business.  Familiarity with DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) obligations and how QA contributes to resilience testing evidence.  Exposure to card scheme testing (Mastercard or Visa), including 3DS flows, tokenisation (MDES/VTS), and card authorisation pathways.  Experience with API testing tools (Postman, REST) for payment API validation.  Knowledge of sanction screening, AML transaction monitoring, or compliance rule engine testing.  Key Responsibilities:  Payments Testing  Design, execute, and maintain comprehensive manual test cases for all Solance Platform workflows and capabilities including core paymen
