Singapore-based Global Processing Services Bolsters Asia Pacific Team with Head of Region Appointment.
Visa veteran Damien Gough, who most recently served as Head of Issuer Processing and Enablement Partnerships at the digital payments giant, will oversee Global Processing Services' (GPS) partnerships and drive its commercial success in the region, the firm announced in a media release. GPS is the trusted and proven go-to payments processing partner for today’s leading challenger brands, including Revolut, WeLab Bank, and Razer Fintech.
With more than 14 years’ experience working with fintechs across the region, Gough was previously Head of Issuer Processing and Enablement Partnerships, Asia Pacific, at Visa, where he was responsible for forging regional and global partnerships with third-party processors and BIN sponsors. Whilst there, he also spearheaded sales activities and solutions with leading regional fintech issuers.
Successful Expansion
Prior to that, Gough was Head of Prepaid Products, Asia Pacific, and Head of Issuer Processing Services, Australia and New Zealand, at Visa, where he spent nine years working with the digital payments giant.
With the support of the U.K. Department for International Trade’s Fintech Bridges and the Singaporean Economic Development Board, GPS successfully expanded into the APAC region in November 2019 and has already delivered successful programs for WeLab Bank, the first homegrown virtual bank in Hong Kong, and Razer Fintech, the largest offline-to-online (O2O) digital payment network in South East Asia aiming to establish the world’s first global youth bank.
