Luke Massie has stepped down as the CEO of UK FinTech VibePay.
Massie, who founded VibePay to connect people, brands, sellers and banks with real-time messaging and instant payments, said it was time for the ‘next chapter’.
In April, VibePay was acquired by global pay by bank platform Banked with support by long-time investor Candy Ventures, founded by billionaire Nick Candy.
A statement from VibePay said: “After leading Vibe from inception to becoming one of the UK’s pioneering open banking companies, our founder and CEO Luke Massie is stepping down.
“Luke now leaves the company to pursue new interests as Vibe continues to grow and innovate.
“VibePay would like to thank Luke – and wish you all the best for what’s next.”
Massie, who had recently become a first-time dad, said: “What a ride. It’s time for me to let go of what I started and begin writing the next chapter.
“VibePay has some really cool stuff coming early next year and the team remain committed to the mission.
“To everyone who’s played their part in the journey and personally helped me over the years, thank you.”
