After FinTech Finseta said yesterday that CFO Judy Happe will be leaving the company, it has now appointed an interim replacement.

The foreign exchange and payments solutions company, which offers multi-currency accounts to businesses and individuals through its technology platform, said Andrew Richards would join with immediate effect.

He brings 25 years’ experience, primarily within the financial services and insurance industries. He joins Finseta after spending 12 years with Chesnara plc, a life insurance and pensions consolidator operating in the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden.

Happe will work with him over the coming weeks to ensure an orderly handover of responsibilities. The board says it has made progress in its search for a permanent CFO.
