John Doyle joins Barron McCann following two years at international payment transaction specialist VocaLink, where he served as Channel Service Line Director. Prior to VocaLink, Doyle held various positions with MasterCard, American Express, ING Bank and eight years at inter-bank data carrier SWIFT, where he served as Regional Director for North America.

As Barron McCanns SWIFT Business Manager, Doyle will focus on enhancing opportunities for the companys payment solutions for BACS, Faster Payments, SEPA and SWIFT, while ensuring that Barron McCanns payment services customers can access the widest range of options available.

Johns appointment underlines our commitment to expanding our presence in the payments marketplace, commented Barron McCann Managing Director, Peter Alderson. As a top 5 payment solution provider, Barron McCann is already recognised for its BACS payment solutions and we are looking forward to working with John to help build a robust, diverse and high quality payment services offering intended to appeal to a wide variety of business payment needs.

There is a growing acceptance that corporate treasury departments need access to a wider range of payment services than simply BACS or CHAPS these days, added Doyle. We will be working with our corporate customers to help consolidate their external communications and provide them with services which allow them to move more simply towards a multi-bank scenario which will both enhance their efficiency and improve their competitive position.
