About Brian Hanrahan

Brian Hanrahan is the CEO of Nuapay SAS & CCO of Sentenial Group, with a twenty-year track record of leading all-star teams who create transformative products and deliver commercial success at scale. He is focused on changing the payments sector and sharing the opportunities created by open banking and embedded finance with their clients and partners. As a technological optimist, founder, and business builder—the latest of which was acquired for over $100 million—he loves the famous Peter Drucker quote, 'the best way to predict the future is to create it,' and what it tells us all about human potential and simply getting on with things. That's what they've been doing at Sentenial and their regulated subsidiary, Nuapay, which was recently acquired by Australian Stock Exchange listed EML Payments (ASX). They are Europe's leading account-to-account payments and open banking provider, profitably processing more than €45 billion annually for: Banks (including Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, and Citi) Corporates/Merchants/PSPs (including Visa Cybersource, Worldpay, Western Union, and Hertz) Plus thousands of SMEs. Being part of a highly interconnected and collaborative industry, he welcomes opportunities to advance policy and ecosystem development with regulators, standards bodies, and peers. Prior to Sentenial, Brian Hanrahan worked inside a bank for a couple of years (Asset Management/Equity Analysis), and back in his teens, he founded his first two businesses in the Ecommerce arena. That experience undoubtedly sparked his passion for mentoring start-ups and younger people.
