Banked announces Lisa Scott as new CEO of Europe.

Banked, the fintech company building a next-gen global payment network, today announced the appointment of Lisa Scott as its CEO for European operations. The company aims to be the leading provider of alternatives to mainstream payment methods, and as CEO of Banked Europe, Lisa will be responsible for managing strategic relationships, developing in-market strategy and driving regional growth and expansion.

Lisa joined Banked in 2021 as an accomplished product, marketing and commercial strategist serving in a dual capacity as CMO and CPO. She brings a strong track record with her wide range of expertise and success in building engaging products, improving portfolio performance and driving customer engagement.

With over a decade of experience at PayPal UK overseeing product marketing and go-to-market strategies for consumer and financial products, and having served as head of loyalty credit cards at Lloyds TSB, head of business development at Airmiles and finance manager at British Airways, Lisa brings a wealth of experience to the role.

Banked Europe is committed to delivering innovative payment solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses and consumers across the continent all while optimizing for the local user experience. Lisa's appointment is a major step forward in achieving this goal.

Founded in 2018, Banked is building a new global payment network that is reimagining mainstream payment methods and the current infrastructure facilitating digital payments around the world. Unlike other popular payment methods, consumers do not need to create an account or pass any login information to Banked – they simply choose their existing bank at checkout and are connected to their mobile banking app to biometrically authenticate the purchase. Total checkout time for a first-time user is typically under 30 seconds and no financial details are shared with Banked for a secure experience.

For merchants, costs are significantly lower and transactions take place in real time and settle instantly. The market for pay by bank payments is growing rapidly. Allied Market Research recently predicted the market will reach $43 billion by 2026 in Europe alone. Banked is dedicated to providing payment solutions that are easy to use, secure, and reliable.
