Viktoria Soltesz - Most Dynamic Women Leaders to Follow in 2025

Viktoria Soltesz has been recognised by Global Biz Outlook as one of the Most Dynamic Women Leaders to Follow in 2025, https://globalbizoutlook.com/most-dynamic-women-leaders-to-follow-in-2025-vol2/

This recognition reflects years of focused work in payment and banking strategy and education.

This feature highlights a career built through a clear belief that payments and banking shape operations far more than leaders recognise today. Payment and banking today impact customer experience, risk management, technology, product development, data security, compliance, finance, and more. It should be considered a standalone function, an essential element of the business strategy, not just a part of finance.

Yet, the ones who manage payment and banking tasks are not adequately trained to do so. Key areas, such as how payments and banking affect technology, UX, compliance, and other essential aspects in a business, are absent from accounting, economics courses, and MBAs.

Why This Recognition Matters

This recognition is more than individual achievement as it signals growing awareness that payment and banking strategy deserves strategic attention at leadership level. 

The FinTech industry unfortunately still heavily relies on introducers, “payment experts,” gateways and ISOs, to bring bank accounts and payment solutions to confused businesses. However, they all work for commission; they all sell, rather than strategize and truly understand what's the best option for the business - it's not only unethical but also very dangerous.

Working Toward a Broader Mission

The article highlights the values shaping Viktoria’s work, including integrity, discipline, and accountability. This recognition supports a broader mission which 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.

Being named among the most dynamic women leaders to follow in 2025 strengthens the commitment to continue building, teaching, and advising with clarity and purpose.
