Yogesh has more than 20 years of experience in payments and digital business growth across the Asia Pacific region. This includes holding key positions at PayPal,Citi,and MoneyGram focusing on revenue growth,marketing,and product management. After joining NIUM,Yogesh will lead further expansion of NIUM's consumer payments business "InstaReM.com" globally and drive the transformation of consumer business into a neo financial services offering.

Digital disruption in the payment industry is expected to grow.

By 2025,the global digital payments industry is expected to reach more than $130billion," said Yogesh Sangle,Global Head of Consumer Businesses of NIUM.

InstaReM,which currently offers cross border services to both individuals and SMEs,is slated to launch in two additional markets this year. This includes Indonesia in the first quarter and Japan subsequently. Apart from the expansion of InstaReM.com,Yogesh will be establishing the building blocks for the global growth of NIUM. This will include developing the Commercial Payments business,catered towards SMEs and adding other consumer-led neo-financial services in the send,spend and receive space.

In February,NIUM will also unveil its AMAZE card aimed at travelers in Singapore. It's a Visa enabled card,which allows travelers to link up their credit cards to the AMAZE app for easy,convenient and cost-effective payments anywhere in the world.

"Over the last 5 years we have built a base of close to one million customers across 40+ countries and we want to expand our service offerings to connect multiple touchpoints for the customer.
