His appointment follows Currensea’s recent partnership with Marriott Bonvoy and Mastercard to launch two co-branded multi-bank debit cards for Marriott’s UK customers, enabling cardholders to earn loyalty points on everyday spending.

This marks Currensea’s second major co-brand agreement, following the introduction of two loyalty debit cards with Hilton in September 2024.

Garland’s arrival will support Currensea’s continued efforts to expand its portfolio of co-branded partnerships in the years ahead.

Founded in 2018 by James Lynn and Craig Goulding, Currensea is a payments technology company that provides co-branded cards and a travel spending card to more than 200,000 customers.

Its platform enables consumers to earn rewards as they spend and allows them to use their existing bank accounts for overseas transactions.
