Nieboer said: “This is an extremely exciting time for Paysafe and the wider payments industry, which is rapidly growing and changing. I am joining such a talented team on the back of an exceptional year for the business. Paysafe has such a great culture of innovation in payments and I look forward to driving the brand’s growth as we continue to help our customers and consumers benefit from faster and simpler ways to send and receive money internationally.”
