Paycode today announced that Colin Digby, a seasoned industry veteran in global payments and FX, has joined the company as Chief Revenue Officer.

Mr Digby brings extensive leadership experience from Mastercard, Crown Agents Bank, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan and Citibank. He will lead Paycode’s global revenue strategy and expand partnerships with banks, governments and development organisations.

Paycode’s payments and digital identity technology is already delivering secure, offline-capable solutions in some of the world’s most challenging markets — including Afghanistan, the DRC, Ethiopia, Ghana, Sudan, Syria and Zambia.

Gabriel Ruhan, CEO, said:

“Colin’s track record speaks for itself. He knows how to build commercial momentum in tough markets, and he’ll help accelerate Paycode’s mission to deliver world-class payments infrastructure where it’s needed most.”

Colin Digby, Chief Revenue Officer, Paycode, said:

“Having spent my career connecting hard-to-reach markets to the global financial system, joining Paycode felt like a natural next step. This is a business with real technology solving real problems, bringing identity and access to people who have been locked out of the formal economy for too long. I’m really looking forward to working with the world-class Paycode team and our partners to build on the momentum and open up new markets around the world.”
