Social Payments Leader Fastacash Names New Chief Innovation Officer

Social payments innovator fastacash is set to further strengthen its position as a leader in social payments for businesses with the appointment of Jorgen Nordin, former Jawbone Head of International Product Management, as its new Chief Innovation Officer.

Jorgen brings with him more than 30 years’ technology experience and a proven track record in driving consumer-focused innovation.

He previously served as the Head of International Product Management at wearables company Jawbone and had extensive experience in several technology companies across various roles.

As the new Chief Innovation Officer, Jorgen will play a vital role in developing seamless, consumer-focused social payments solutions.

He will spearhead the company’s innovation agenda as fastacash eyes to expand its product portfolio and market presence across Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and the Middle East.

Vince Tallent, Chairman and CEO of fastacash, commented, “In the last four years, the concept behind fastacash has moved away from being simply an idea – starting with just a three slide presentation — to becoming a global innovator in the lucrative social payments space.

Large multinationals, including banks with hundreds of millions of consumers, are looking to fastacash to connect and engage with their consumers through our innovative technology solutions.

Appointing a Chief Innovation Officer with the energy, vision and background as rich as Jorgen’s, positions us very well to redefine the way people transact over social networks.”

A technology enabler of payments and value transfer through social media and messaging applications, fastacash works with mobile wallet providers and financial services institutions (FSIs) such as banks and remittance and money transfer companies to provide domestic and cross-border value transfer capabilities through social media.
