Payment Operations Analyst

Team

The Payment Operations team powers the accurate, timely, and secure movement of funds across the entire Raisin U.S. platform. As a multi-bank deposit marketplace supporting high-yield savings accounts, CDs, and a centralized cash account, Raisin facilitates inbound and outbound ACH transactions, reinvestments, and internal money movement across partner banks, custodial banks, and service bank relationships.

Payment Operations owns the end-to-end payment lifecycle: transaction processing, multi-entity settlement, ledger reconciliation, exception resolution, and operational risk mitigation. The team works hand-in-hand with Product, Engineering, Compliance, Custodial and Service Banks and other partners to build scalable financial infrastructure.

As Raisin expands, we are focused on designing a flexible operational architecture capable of supporting a broader multi-rail payment ecosystem.

Your Responsibilities

The Payment Operations Analyst will be responsible for the day to day execution and operational effectiveness of payments processes, payment accuracy, timeliness and reconciliation, across all of our deposit products.
