To strengthen Safecypher’s growing US leadership team, Dave Smith is stepping into a new role as Vice President of US Commercial Operations from February 1, 2025.

Dave has been a valued shareholder and senior board advisor at Safecypher for several years. Soon, he will lead on commercial dealings with issuers and processors in the US, where his experience in the global payment and financial services industries will be an enormous asset. Previously, Dave held senior positions with GE Capital, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and SAV Credit, which is now Newday. After the 2008 banking crisis, he started a debt management business in Greece, and in 2019, he was instrumental in selling and transitioning Bank of Ireland’s UK card operations to JAJA Finance Ltd. 

His appointment adds value to Safecypher’s expanding US operation that will soon fall under a separate US entity.
