"I am delighted to be joining PFG as the new Managing Director of Cards. I look forward to working closely with Malcolm, and the wider credit card team, as we position the business for growth and drive the digital agenda. The cards business has several key competitive advantages, which really attracted me to the role, including its strong capabilities across underwriting and collections, its robust capital and liquidity positions and its fundamental understanding of its customers."
