Cash Management & Banking Operations Specialist – Korea Based

About Agoda At Agoda, we bridge the world through travel. Our story began in 2005, when two lifelong friends and entrepreneurs, driven by their passion for travel, launched Agoda to make it easier for everyone to explore the world. Today, we are part of Booking Holdings [NASDAQ: BKNG], with a diverse team of over 7,000 people from 90 countries, working together in offices around the globe. Every day, we connect people to destinations and experiences, with our great deals across our millions of hotels and holiday properties, flights, and experiences worldwide. No two days are the same at Agoda. Data and technology are at the heart of our culture, fueling our curiosity and innovation. If you’re ready to begin your best journey and help build travel for the world, join us. Get To Know Our Team: Agoda Finance plays a central role in supporting the company's global expansion. Within Finance, BKNG Treasury manages liquidity, foreign exchange risk, banking relationships, and funding operations across Agoda and the wider Booking Holdings group. Our treasury centres sit in Bangkok, Amsterdam, Norwalk, and Bangalore — and we are now establishing a dedicated Korea-based Treasury Operations presence to support Agoda Payments Korea LLC (APK). APK holds Korean Payment Gateway and specialised FX licenses that enable Agoda to acquire and settle KRW locally. Under the Electronic Financial Transactions Act (EFTA), effective 17 December 2026, APK must safeguard Protected Settlement Amounts through an approved product. We are operationalising a Trust structure with a Korean bank — a partially Korean-language-only banking environment that requires an on-the-ground, Korean-speaking Treasury colleague for day-to-day cash and banking operations. The Opportunity: We are looking for a Cash Management & Banking Operations Specialist based in Korea to own APK-specific treasury operations that cannot be run from our offshore centres. Roughly half of the role is cash management operations (positioning, funding, safeguarding execution, and local process documentation); the other half is banking operations and banking administration (Korean bank relationship ops, KYC/AML form handling, signatory management, and bank portal activity). Today, much of this work is being bridged through a manual translation loop — Korean bank forms are translated to English for the Bangkok banking team, completed, translated back to Korean, and physically submitted at the branch. You will take ownership of that operating model end-to-end: working directly in Korean with our Korean banking partner, visiting the branch when required, running the online banking portal, and partnering closely with Bangkok Cash Management & Operations and Banking teams so APK stays compliant and operationally controlled. Over time, you will get involved in supporting FSS safeguarding disclosures and regulatory reporting packs, acting as a backup on selected reporting activities, and broadening into additional APK treasury processes as the local operating model matures — working closely with our treasury teams in Bangkok, Amsterdam, Norwalk, and Bangalore. What You’ll Do: Cash Management Operations (APK) • Operate APK-specific cash management activities for the Trust / safeguarding structure — including daily/periodic movement of funds into and out of the Trust as required to meet the applicable safeguarding ratio, and curing any shortfall within regulatory timelines. • Support daily cash positioning and funding for APK accounts; after safeguarding obligations are met, support transfers of residual funds in KRW or via FX conversion to ACS as directed by the Asia Cash Management team. • Maintain APK-specific cash management process narratives, key controls, and how-to-operate documentation (de
