The Company has expanded and deepened its customer base and presence globally and set out clear priorities to extend our FX and payments capabilities, further diversify our customer base and expand the number of markets we serve. I look forward to helping Neeraj get up to speed on CAB Payments, and continuing to leverage my experience, skills and network to further benefit the Company in this highly exciting and growing sector.”
