Who we are

Oliver Wyman is a global management consulting firm. We work with clients through their most defining moments, combining deep industry knowledge, specialized expertise, and the power of perspective to help them adapt, grow, and thrive.

INNOPAY is a consultancy firm, part of Oliver Wyman, specializing in digital transactions. Since 2002, we have helped shape the digital transactions landscape, with roots in payment innovation — including co-creating iDEAL — and expertise that has expanded into digital identity and data sharing.

We work with clients across the strategic, product development, and operational spectrum of their businesses. This includes helping them develop new business models, consider the technology they deploy, and respond to evolving local and international regulation. From our offices in Amsterdam and Frankfurt, and together with Oliver Wyman, we serve organizations around the world and help shape their most transformative moments.

Joining INNOPAY means becoming part of a team focused on the commercial, regulatory, and technological developments shaping digital transactions — and translating those developments into practical solutions for clients.

• Act as a day-to-day point of contact for clients, building trusted relationships and maintaining a strong focus on their objectives and needs.

• Lead and develop consultants, creating an inclusive and collaborative environment while helping team members build their capabilities.

• Share your expertise with INNOPAY colleagues and contribute to the development of new propositions and publications.

• Stay close to the latest commercial, regulatory, and technological developments relevant to digital transactions and bring those perspectives into client work.

• Take an active role in INNOPAY’s business development in the Netherlands, supporting client relationships and identifying opportunities to accelerate growth in the region.
