Notably, Mr Wilson served as an Operations Manager for JCB for over three years, as the Head of Compliance and VP of Risk at Visa Europe for nine years, as well as working in executive and consultancy roles for various European fintech companies for over a decade.
Now, Mr Wilson will bring that experience to the rapidly growing Monneo, assisting the company as it further adapts to the constantly evolving regulatory and risk landscape within the fintech sector. With his considerable support, Monneo will be able to continue providing innovative solutions, which meet the needs of its expanding, and ever-changing customer base, helping the company along its highly impressive growth trajectory well into 2023 and beyond.

I can’t wait to begin working alongside them, learning more about the business and formulating plans on how we can help it to further grow and reach its full potential within the world of fintech.”
Monneo’s hiring of Steve Wilson is the latest step the company has taken to further enhance the level of service it offers to customers. The business currently stands out as the only full payment ecosystem provider for the eCommerce sector, with its service representing a true end-to-end solution. In doing so, the company has helped to break down several legacy barriers, which have previously held merchants back when looking to grow. Now, Monneo is preparing for more innovation in 2023 and will use Mr Wilson’s knowledge to guide this.
