Sam Seaton has stepped down from Bristol FinTech Moneyhub after eight years as CEO.
Seaton joined Moneyhub, which was founded in 2014, as commercial director in 2016. She was made CEO later that year.
Moneyhub is a data, intelligence and payments company which develops software for open banking, open finance and open data applications.
Anne de Kerckhove, chair of the board, will take on the role of executive chair of the group in the interim as it looks to appoint a new CEO.
“Leading Moneyhub has been an extraordinary privilege. Our North Star has always been enhancing people’s financial wellness – not just as a business metric, but as a meaningful societal contribution,” said Seaton.
“We’ve achieved something quite remarkable. Beyond the £70 million in funding, we’ve fundamentally reshaped how technology can empower financial decision-making. Our team – brilliant, conscientious and remarkably innovative – has been the true engine of our success.
“From forging partnerships with prominent financial institutions to collaborating with nimble fintech disruptors, we’ve consistently pushed beyond conventional boundaries. The impact has been both profound and far-reaching.
“Whilst this chapter concludes, my passion for leveraging technology to create genuine, positive change remains undimmed. I’m genuinely excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.
“To our Moneyhub team, partners, and stakeholders: my most sincere gratitude for this remarkable journey. The foundations we’ve built will continue to resonate well beyond my tenure.”
De Kerckhove commented: “On behalf of the entire Moneyhub ecosystem; our board, talented team, valued clients, and strategic partners, we extend our most heartfelt thanks to Sam for her extraordinary leadership that has transformed Moneyhub into a market-leading enterprise.
“Sam has built a truly exceptional team that has driven groundbreaking innovations within the Open Banking and Open Finance sector. Her vision has created substantive value not just for our shareholders, but for consumers across the UK financial landscape.”
