Fintech Startup Trade Ledger expands UK operation. Appoints New CFO

Fintech startup Trade Ledger — which describes itself as the world’s first corporate open banking lending platform — has announced the opening of its European operation, headquartered in London, along with additional hires.

Lisa Callaghan will move from the role of accountant to Chief Financial Officer at Trade Ledger’s Sydney office, after representing technology start-ups from inception through to early fundraising as a partner at Interactive Accounting.

The UK operations will be headed up by a new Chief Innovation Officer with the company tapping some talent from Equifax UK.

The expansion is designed to boost Trade Ledger’s international traction and product market fit, and should allow it to take advantage of open banking, and prepare it for further accelerated global growth, according to a statement.

It comes after Trade Ledger’s Open Innovation Banking Award from Barclays Bank last month, and its participation in the Australia-UK Chamber of Commerce-sponsored fintech trade mission this week.

Callaghan’s promotion, and other appointments will bring “… an incredible depth of knowledge and experience to our business at a crucial time in our global development, and in the evolution of financial services as a whole,” said a company spokesperson.
