International fintech company IFX Payments has appointed Glenn Uniacke as its first Chief Revenue Officer. Uniacke has over 20 years of experience in foreign exchange (FX) and global payments.

In his new role, he will oversee the sales teams at IFX Payments. He is responsible for managing client acquisition and retention strategies.

CRO’s Journey Through Finance

Before joining IFX, Uniacke was the Managing Director and Chief Commercial Officer at Moneycorp. He worked there for 20 years, starting as a Senior Dealer. Uniacke began his career at Bankers Trust in Sydney. Afterward, he moved back to London and worked at Barclays.

“IFX is a best-in-class payments provider that delivers great service and has fostered considerable customer loyalty,” commented Glenn Uniacke, CRO at IFX Payments.

“I was drawn to the ambition and drive of Will and his team, as well as the company’s clear potential for further growth, both in the UK and internationally,” he continued. “I’m excited to be joining the business and playing my part in its next chapter.”

Earlier, IFX Payments reported a strong financial performance for the 2023/2024 fiscal year. Its profits increased by 59% to £9.2 million and revenue rose by 25% to £41 million, as reported by Finance Magnates. This growth reflects the rising demand for international payment solutions.

Research from the Bank of England predicts the value of cross-border payments will reach $250 billion by 2027. According to the company, its ibanq product, a multi-currency virtual IBAN account, has contributed to its success.

Expanding Senior Management Team

In the past year, IFX has also expanded its senior management team. Sara Cass was hired as Chief Compliance Officer, and Graham Ridley joined as Strategy Director.

Commenting on the new appointment, Will Marwick, CEO at IFX Payments, said: “Glenn is a fantastic addition to IFX and we’re delighted to welcome him on board as we look to expand and build on the momentum of the last 12 months. His wealth of FX experience and proven ability to drive growth in the global payments space will be huge assets.”
