At Paysend, we believe the best stories of leadership come from within. This article is part of a new series where we share perspectives from our leaders – highlighting the values, ideas and people practices that shape our company.<\/p>
Introducing Hunter<\/h2>
In this piece, Hunter Morgan Davis, our Global Head of People & Culture Strategy and Development, shares his view on why Ben Chisell’s appointment as CEO is not only a natural step, but also a reflection of Paysend’s commitment to internal growth and development.<\/p>
The Path to Leadership: Why We Promote from Within<\/h2>
For us, promoting Ben is more than a single appointment. It’s a testament to our philosophy: building the world’s largest digital payments network means investing in our people as much as our technology.<\/p>
With Ben leading, we’ll continue to develop existing Paysenders while also bringing in new talent, always guided by our mission to break barriers and make money transfers simple, secure and accessible for everyone.<\/p>
We know flexibility and collaboration matter. That’s why, even with four key offices in London, Belgrade, Dublin and Miami, our team stretches across 38 countries. No matter where they are, we work to ensure every Paysender feels connected, empowered and able to thrive.<\/p>
Cultivating Talent and Raising the Bar<\/h2>
One of the things I value most here is that career paths aren’t linear. We see growth as a rock wall, not a ladder — sometimes you climb up, other times you move sideways to discover a new path.<\/p>
Take Elena Iurchenko, who began in Customer Support before moving into Finance and now Product. Or Andrej Balenovic, who also started in Support and is now a Customer Experience Manager in Enterprise Operations. These journeys show that when we invest in our people, they can redefine what’s possible.<\/p>
We embed growth into our daily work. Instead of backward-looking reviews, we use feedforward to set goals and fuel development. It’s not a twice-a-year tick-box exercise, but part of the DNA of how Paysenders support each other every day.<\/p>
By investing in our people, we’re not just filling positions; we’re strengthening our foundation and our future. The collective experience and deep company knowledge of our team are our greatest assets. Fundamentally, we believe that when you hire great people, you should do everything you can to help them thrive.<\/p>
Hiring for Impact<\/h2>
Speaking of great people, that\'s exactly what we aim to do when we look externally. We are not a company that just throws more people at a problem; we\'re deliberate and thoughtful. We want to ensure we bring in \"bar raisers.\" These are people who are not only technical experts but also those who can help bring those around them up to their level. Our hiring process starts with a culture-first approach and then, in subsequent stages, assesses if you can truly raise the bar. We’re looking for people who can bring that extra spark, the ability to innovate, collaborate and inspire the entire team.<\/p>
Looking Ahead<\/h2>
This is an incredibly exciting time for us. Our ability to grow leaders from within while welcoming new talent who inspire everyone around them is part of what makes Paysend so special.<\/p>
Ben’s appointment as CEO shows exactly why we believe the best leadership stories start inside our own walls. With his experience, vision and the collective passion of every Paysender, I’m confident our best days are still ahead. <\/p>","description2":"","rank":null,"slug":"building-future-from-within-power-of-internal-promotion","preview_text":"

We’re always working to make sending money to your loved ones fast, secure and easy. That’s why we’re pleased to share an important update: transfers of up to ₱50,000 to the Philippines are now delivered within seconds*<\/p>
*Your money will be sent in real time; however, transfer delivery times may vary based on recipient bank processing, compliance checks, or other factors.<\/p>
What’s changed?<\/h2>
Thanks to an upgrade with our network partner Asia United Bank \(AUB\), transfers of up to ₱50,000 sent to the Philippines from Paysend-supported countries are now processed through InstaPay rails. This means funds move more smoothly across the network, so your recipient can receive them in near real time.<\/p>
What this means for you<\/h2>
Your family and friends won’t have to wait long to access the money you send. Transfers are processed on modernized rails that improve speed and consistency, giving you and your loved ones greater peace of mind. You don’t need to change a thing – simply send as normal in the Paysend app or on the website.<\/p>

As the focus on digital transformation continues across industries, consumers are leading the charge and making their preferences known. One way they’ve done so is by migrating more and more to convenient options that blend into their busy lives.
It is our goal to make international digital money transfers as quick and easy as possible for our customers. That’s why we’ve partnered with Mastercard SendTM to better expand our service offerings.
Using Paysend with Mastercard Send for International Money Transfers
Through this integration, US customers can send funds directly to eligible Mastercard cards internationally including to Mexico, Guatemala, Dominican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador and Columbia. What’s more, this partnership also allows US customers to transfer money to loved ones domestically to US Mastercard cardholders.
How does this work? Using the Paysend app*, American customers can transfer money to a friend or family member and the funds arrive straight to the recipient’s debit card account in near real-time.† That means they can use it almost immediately after you hit send. This helps eliminate the process of long transfer times and moving money from the Paysend app to an account.
We’re excited that we can expand our platform and offer the convenience that consumers and our customers deserve.
Want to take advantage of our convenient, affordable and secure transfer options? Get started today!
