UK Fintech Icon Solutions Appoints Anders Olofsson As EMEA Sales Director

Anders brings over 30 years of experience in the global payments industry, having held senior roles at leading companies including Finastra, where he led global payments sales and strategy and Visa, where he oversaw real-time payments strategy across CEMEA.

In his new role Anders will focus on expanding IPF adoption among Tier 1 banks across EMEA and Asia helping them accelerate deployment of advanced payment solutions with greater efficiency and flexibility.

Commenting on his appointment, Anders said: “With payments increasingly seen as a strategic differentiator, institutions need to move quickly to integrate emerging technologies such as stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Yet at the same time, growing resiliency and compliance demands are placing greater emphasis on maintaining control over critical payments systems. It is clear to me that IPF is the only solution that enables banks to safely accelerate the development of new products and services at scale with zero vendor dependency.”

Liam Jeffs, Global Sales Director at Icon Solutions, adds: “Anders brings proven understanding of the operational, regulatory and technology challenges faced by banks transitioning from legacy infrastructure to next-generation payment platforms. This will be invaluable as we continue to expand the reach of IPF and empower more banks to lead payments forward.”
