Appointment strengthens executive leadership team as OpenPayd expands global banking partnerships and financial infrastructure
OpenPayd, a leading provider of financial infrastructure, today announced the appointment of Barry O’Sullivan as Chief Banking Officer, strengthening its executive leadership team as the company continues to scale its global banking network and financial infrastructure.
O’Sullivan joined OpenPayd in 2022 and now formally joins the company’s executive leadership team. In his role, he will lead OpenPayd’s global banking partnership and expansion team, overseeing relationships with banking partners while driving the strategic expansion of the company’s network across new jurisdictions.
Over the past year, OpenPayd has continued to expand its global financial infrastructure, significantly increasing the breadth of its multi-currency capabilities and extending domestic virtual IBAN coverage across key European markets. These enhancements enable businesses to open and hold accounts in a wider range of currencies, collect and reconcile payments through dedicated virtual IBANs, and move funds internationally with greater efficiency through a single API. The expansion strengthens OpenPayd’s ability to support digital-first businesses operating across multiple jurisdictions while simplifying global money movement for its growing client base.
With more than 20 years of experience across financial services and technology, O’Sullivan has worked extensively with organisations managing FX risk and optimising global payment operations. Prior to joining OpenPayd, he held senior roles at XE.com, Vitesse PSP and Kyriba.
Iana Dimitrova, Chief Executive Officer at OpenPayd, said:
“Barry has built out OpenPayd’s banking partner ecosystem and has been instrumental in developing our global footprint. As we continue to scale our financial infrastructure and expand into new markets, his leadership will play an important role in strengthening the banking partnerships that underpin our platform and support our clients’ global growth.”
Barry O’Sullivan, Chief Banking Officer at OpenPayd, added:
“OpenPayd’s mission is to provide the financial infrastructure that enables businesses to move and manage money globally. Strong banking partnerships are fundamental to that mission. I’m looking forward to continuing to grow our global network and supporting clients as they expand into new markets.”
