Ukash boss joins Emerging Payments Association
Group plans to create global hotspot for payments innovation
David Hunter, CEO of UK online money company Ukash, has joined the advisory board of the Emerging Payments Association (EPA).
The EPA was set up by a group of companies and individuals to represent those in emerging payments who wanted to shape their future. Current challenges being addressed by the group include:
• Creating a global hotspot for payments innovation in the UK
• Ensuring an innovation-friendly regulatory regime
• Enabling direct access to clearing and settlement at the Bank of England
Commenting on his appointment, Hunter said: “Ukash is continually innovating to deliver payments solutions that empower social inclusion in the global economy. I am, therefore, looking forward to bringing our philosophy to the EPA Advisory Board, where I am sure we will identify the opportunities to improve the customer experience as the payments landscape responds to the changing dynamics of the consumer marketplace.” |
