Travelex Global Business Payments, the world’s leading cross-border payments specialist,
has made two new senior additions to its Global Management Team over the last few months
as it accelerates growth on the back of its recently launched GEO Global Clearing Network.
The appointments have been made to support Travelex’s growth strategy in 2011 and are with
immediate effect.
Using its award-winning payments platform GEO as a spearhead, Travelex Global Business
Payments’ worldwide growth programme is focussed on increasing sales in Asia Pacific and
EMEA.
Andrew Wiseman now heads up Global Products & Marketing, where following him leading
the launch of GEO in October, he is focusing on new product and marketing innovation.
Andrew was previously the General Manager responsible for the Financial Services Division of
Australia Post, among Australia’s largest independent payments providers. Prior to this, he
held senior positions at the John Lewis Group and American Express.
Nick Masterson-Jones joins as Chief Information Officer, where he will lead the development
of Travelex’s award-winning payments platform, GEO. Nick has held a broad range of roles in
banking, risk management and IT and was previously Managing Director of Transaction
services and Director of Information Technology at Vocalink, one of the world’s largest
specialist bank payment partners. He has over 25 years’ management experience working at
high profile financial institutions such as JP Morgan, UBS, Reuters and several major UK
banks.
Travelex Global Business Payments provides businesses of all sizes a comprehensive range
of payment and foreign exchange services including the payment and receipt of international
funds. Travelex recently launched an award-winning payments platform, GEO. GEO’s Global
Clearing Network provides businesses with unique access to local country clearing systems
(e.g. ACH and Faster Payments) in 40 countries worldwide.
Announcing the senior appointments, David Sear, Global Managing Director at Travelex
Global Business Payments, commented:
“These key appointments provide further depth to our Senior Management Team and we are
very excited to have them on board. With these new additions, Travelex Global Business
Payments is well-placed to compete globally in cross border payments, combining our strong
customer proposition and innovative product set to offer businesses a unique payments
solution.”
