“In 2018, [Mr] Chen helped BPAY launch Osko, the first real time payment service that is used by most Australian consumers and businesses to make payments today,” it said.
In his new role, Mr Chen will oversee Finder’s risk, regulation and compliance teams “as fintech looks to shape cryptocurrency regulation in Australia, and explore ways to help its users globally take advantage of emerging financial products”.
Speaking about his new role, Mr Chen said that the opportunity to join Finder in a newly created global role was an “attractive proposition”.
“Finder is one of those rare genuine values-led organisations, and I’m very much aligned with its mission to help people make better financial decisions,” he said.
“I look forward to leveraging my broad legal and commercial skillset to help Finder continue to build and scale at pace.”
