Share this post

London, UK, 4th September – FINTECH startup Paybase, which delivers an end-to-end solution for payments, compliance and risk, has hired former HSBC Financial Crime and Compliance Manager, Danielle Herndon, as Head of Compliance and MLRO (Money Laundering Reporting Officer).

Danielle has previously held roles at both global payment companies (Paysafe) and young startups where she has built the compliance procedures and strategies from the ground up. She said: “I am thrilled to be joining Paybase. This is an exciting role within the compliance sector as I’ll be working directly with business partners and the Paybase engineering team to find the most innovative ways to meet our partners’ payment needs whilst complying with the highest regulation standards.“

Anna Tsyupko CEO of Paybase said: “Danielle has great experience in bringing together compliance and technology – an ever important skill for today’s world and the future of payments. As we are a tech-first company with compliance underpinning everything we do, Danielle is the perfect fit for this role and a great asset to the team.

Paybase is growing rapidly, adding five new hires in just the last 12 weeks. In addition to newly filled Head of Compliance and Head of Partnerships roles, this also includes a Software Engineer, a Systems Engineer and an Operations Manager. The now 16-strong Paybase team is based in London Bridge after a move to a higher capacity office earlier this year to accommodate its growth.

Anna added: “The Paybase team is a highly motivated group of ambitious and visionary people with decades of experience across technical solutions, design and marketing, operations and compliance, and business development and management. This is a really exciting time for Paybase and we are proud to be welcoming such passionate, inquisitive and forward thinking individuals into team.”

Recently recognised by Wired as one of the next generation of FinTech startups set to revolutionise the world of finance, Paybase has received £700,000 funding from the British Government’s Innovate programme to unlock eMoney-as-a-service for SMEs, startups and charities.

The Paybase Platform graduates from private beta to public availability later this year which will democratise access to an affordable, accessible and flexible payments infrastructure.

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
