Clearing and embedded banking group ClearBank has appointed David Samper, a banking veteran as its new group CFO.
Samper joins the fintech from Newcastle Building Society, where he spent over six years as chief financial officer. He has also held senior roles at Sainsbury’s Bank, NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland.
While overseeing the finances of Newcastle Building Society, the organisation doubled its assets and successfully merged with Manchester Building Society.
“ClearBank’s reputation for technological innovation, best-in-class regulatory compliance and a strong growth strategy makes it one of the most exciting financial services businesses to be a part of,” Samper said.
“I’m delighted to be joining at such a pivotal time and look forward to supporting the next phase of growth in the UK and abroad.”
The 50-year-old succeeds Mark Fairless, the former ClearBank CFO who was appointed as the company’s chief executive in March, replacing co-founder Charles McManus.
“I’m thrilled to have someone of David’s experience and calibre join the business,” said Fairless.
“His deep expertise across finance, strategy and regulation, spanning both public and private sectors, brings tremendous strength to our leadership team. As we scale to unlock our clients’ potential, his contribution will be key to ClearBank’s next phase of international growth”.
