Tuxedo Money Solutions has appointed Duncan Currie as regional director for Australia and Asia Pacific.
As a strategic hire, this role is significant in boosting Tuxedo’s international expansion.
Based in Melbourne, Currie’s role is to support Tuxedo’s international growth plans in the Asia Pacific region, a key market for prepaid and electronic payments.
This move represents the most recent in the international expansion strategy, and closely follows deals with GPS in the Middle East, and i2C in the USA.
With the appointment, Tuxedo will build on its presence in Australia, following the launch of its payment platform in the region last year.
“Duncan is a strategic hire for the company and will bring his wealth of experience to help drive up the business in the region. Australia is a key market for the prepaid sector, particularly in the travel market, where according to a recent RFi study, a quarter of Australians who travel overseas use prepaid for their travel money,” Tuxedo Payment Solutions ceo, John Sharman said.
Currie brings to Tuxedo more than ten years’ experience in the payments industry. Most recently, he was a director with Visa, managing the prepaid product suite for Australasia. Previous to that he was with ANZ in Australia and New Zealand.
