Yaspa appoints new chief financial officer

Open banking fintech Yaspa has appointed Chris Lowe as chief financial officer as it enters a new phase of growth.

Chris brings more than a decade of experience helping growth-stage companies scale, with a strong track record in financial leadership, modelling and fundraising. 

He has worked with Yaspa since October 2024 as fractional chief financial officer via his role at Irish finance consultancy Fitzgerald Power and now joins the London-headquartered business full-time.

Chris said: “It’s a hugely exciting time to join Yaspa on its growth journey. 

“I’m energised by companies at this stage, where things are moving fast and the market opportunity is clear with strong tailwinds. 

“I thrive on bringing clarity to complexity through the numbers, helping to chart a confident course through dynamic conditions, and I’m looking forward to building closer relationships with the talented growing team.”

Chris’ appointment comes as Yaspa prepares to expand into new markets and sectors, building on its reputation for using open banking and AI to deliver trusted payment and identity services for iGaming platforms across the UK, Ireland and Europe.

James Neville, chief executive of Yaspa, added: “Chris has already made a significant impact during his time as fractional chief financial officer, helping us sharpen our financial strategy as we prepare for our next phase of growth.

“His experience scaling fast-moving businesses and navigating complex financial environments makes him the ideal person to lead Yaspa’s finance function full-time. 

“We’re delighted to have him on board as we expand into new markets and continue building a category-defining business.”
