Background

About James Walton

IFX Payments is a leading global foreign exchange, payment and financial technology provider. Headquartered in London, with offices around the world, we deliver advanced payment, treasury and financial management solutions to corporates, replacing operational inefficiency with streamlined processes, and uncertainty with control. We also offer bespoke FX solutions to individuals seeking a trusted partner for their unique exchange needs. I have an extensive 16-year engagement in Financial Services, witnessing firsthand the adaptive measures taken by entities and individuals in response to external economic and political forces. Our commitment to maintaining rigorous standards, embracing flexibility, pioneering cutting-edge technology, and fostering close client relationships has effectively enabled companies to mitigate inherent risks and stay on the front foot whilst scaling. Over the past five years as a board director, I have encountered both rewarding and challenging experiences. Shifting my focus from individual sales, I have concentrated on enhancing the overall profitability and scalability of the business. Collaborating with accomplished colleagues has provided valuable insights into what it takes to effectively manage a successful financial institution. Moving forward, my core focus will be on helping to scale the company further, looking at new territories and commercial opportunities, and working with our internal teams to ensure we're consistently striving to bring best-in-class solutions to our clients.
