New PCI Pal CTO Monim, who joins from an almost three year tenure as CTO of retail finance cloud technology provider Deko, will be responsible for directing the strategic technical vision for the company.
Working with PCI Pal’s leadership team, Monim will use his extensive expertise and experience within cloud and payments technologies to further advance the company’s goal to be the preferred payment security provider for customer engagement environments.
As well as spearheading technology strategy, Monim will lead the newly formed product team at PCI Pal in the identification and development of future product enhancements and features as the company seeks to capitalise on growth opportunities.
During his time at Deko, Monim led the product and engineering teams, developing a platform used by more than 1,700 merchants and processing over 2 million credit applications, worth in excess of £2 billion.
Prior to this, the new appointment was head of technology at Lebara Money, where he created an international money transfer platform, achieving £100 million worth of transfers within its first 12 months of operation.
