Previously CTO of CreditEnable, Rego also held senior technology leadership roles for over 25+ years with Citi, where his career spanned positions as Global Head of Treasury and Trade Solutions Technology and Global Electronic Banking Channels Head.

Rego joins BCB Group at a vital stage of a growth journey for the firm and brings a wealth of experience driving successful delivery of large transformation and growth programs solving complex business challenges using technology across large-scale enterprise and fintech organisations.

With a dedicated focus on institutional payment services, BCB Group provides business accounts, cryptocurrency and foreign exchange market liquidity for some of the world’s largest crypto-engaged financial institutions including Bitstamp, Coinbase, Galaxy, Gemini, Huobi and Kraken. BCB Group is the only dual-regulated institution of its kind to offer clients a complete end-to-end suite of payment processing, cryptocurrency trading and custody services accessible through a unified API-enabled platform, allowing clients to access a complete range of digital asset services in one place.

In January, BCB Group closed a $4.5 million investment round to fund upcoming initiatives such as BCB Treasury, which aims to help companies invest in bitcoin as a treasury asset, BCB Yield Accounts and BCB Wealth Partners. Rego joins at a time when BCB is growing rapidly to help support BCB’s ambitious roadmap for democratising robust payments infrastructure for all.
