In his most recent role within Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banking Group, Martin was responsible for the management of all payments-related activities, as well as the cash and ATM businesses.

“Jamie brings us terrific board-level experience, gained from previous positions with Payments UK, The Clearing House Automated Payment System (CHAPS) and The Cheque and Credit Clearing Company (C&CCC), said Eric Crabtree, vice president and global head of Financial Services for Unisys. “I am very confident that the experience he brings will drive us forward in areas including traditional and emerging payments trends, as well as incorporating new approaches toward omnichannel banking.”

"On behalf of iPSL, I am delighted to welcome Jamie Martin to the Board. iPSL is currently undergoing a significant transition as cheque services move from the current paper-based model to image-based. Jamie's extensive experience in payments and banking will be invaluable to the company during this change and as the future of UK payments continues to evolve," said Royston Hoggarth, chairman and CEO, iPSL.
