Reaching more than 3.5 million customers already in 60+ countries, soon Paysend will be bringing their disruptive Financial Services to APAC.

Asia Pacific is one of the most populated and attractive regions globally with nearly 4 billion people living there and a massive opportunity for digital money.

In order to drive the growth of the company across the region, Paysend has appointed Steve Vickers as the new Managing Director for Paysend APAC. Based in Singapore, Steve will be responsible for defining and implementing the regional business strategy, building a world-class Fintech team, and securing additional Regulatory approvals and partnership deals across Asia. All this in order to turbocharge growth for Paysend in the region and to land the foundations of a winning business in the long run.

“Paysend is establishing itself as a trusted cross-border payments partner, with millions of customers using the Global Transfers and Global Account services every month. We intend to offer our multi-currency account, virtual debit card, and global transfer capabilities to individuals and SMEs throughout Asia,” says Steve.

Steve is an experienced global executive, with a track record of success in several areas of the Internet Economy: eCommerce, Media & Content, Digital Services, and Payments/FinTech. He has negotiated deals and built operational teams in APAC, Europe, the Americas, and Africa. For the last 12 years he has been based in Singapore, and has driven the growth of several major international technology organisations across the region, including Xiaomi, Grab, and the payments Fintech Thunes.

“Building from our existing partnership deals with Mastercard, Visa, China UnionPay, and Alipay, amongst many others, I see enormous opportunities to expand our industry-leading card-to-card direct transfer offerings further, providing additional benefits for the millions of un-banked individuals across Asia Pacific,” adds Abdul Abdulkerimov, Paysend Founder and President.
