Pay.UK hires new director of payments
Working alongside director of technology James Tasker, Bradshaw’s new remit will extend to payment operations, fraud operations, customer onboarding and assurance, under the leadership of David Morris, who was appointed to COO last year.
In a statement sent to FinTech Futures, Morris says the director of payments will “lead our payment operations team to further strengthen the operational resilience of Pay.UK’s systems and services, ensuring they continue to meet the needs of the people and businesses that rely on them every day”.
Led by CEO David Pitt, Pay.UK operates the Bacs Payment System, the Faster Payment System (FPS) and the Image Clearing System, and claims its platform processes around 85% of the £23.5 billion in retail payments made daily in the UK.
In recent developments, the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) disclosed this month plans to update FPS and launch a “reform of Pay.UK”, during the final two years of its latest payments strategy.
Bradshaw brings over 25 years of experience in payments and transaction banking to the organisation, moving directly from HSBC, where she served as head of innovation for global payments for almost seven years.
Her career also includes senior positions at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and PwC, where she was a director in the financial services consulting practice.
