Alexander MacAngus
Chairman & Co-Founder
Richard Smith
CEO & Co-Founder
Combining over 40 years of industry experience between them, Alexander and Richard co-founded Payen in 2010.
Prior to Co-founding Payen, Alexander ran a consultancy business, negotiating merchant acquiring contracts for enterprise clients. With a background starting in the military and civil aviation, he branched out and invested in early-stage tech businesses. He continues to be driven to ensure Payen becomes globally recognised as a payments innovator whose products and services are second to none.
With a background in software development on risk modelling and underwriting software for corporate insurance syndicates within Lloyds of London and then later as Head of European Software Sales at Xchanging Plc., Richard had a desire to create a company that didn’t follow the crowd and instead looked for opportunities to innovate and disrupt the payment space.
“I wanted to build products and development processes that would fit within the paradigm of providing solutions to clients quickly and that would exceed expectations – and that’s what Payen is all about.
It’s about a team effort to achieve and produce the best that we can in an agile company with a ‘can do’ attitude to change and deliver creative solutions.”
Steve Price, CTO
