Earthport, a regulated payments institution, is one of the fastest growing cross-border payments companies in the world, having established a central clearing hub for payments into 65 countries. The appointment of Beau represents continued investment in the growth strategy at Earthport and highlights the opportunities which Earthport sees in the region as it continues to expand its offering across Europe.

The company is witnessing growing demand for its solutions in Europe and I look forward to working with the team to help secure the many opportunities the market has to offer.”

Hank Uberoi, CEO of Earthport, said: “As the fintech industry continues to look for ways to bring greater efficiencies to the payments market, we see financial institutions moving away from traditional correspondent banking towards alternative models for their low value cross-border payments.
