Malcolm Le May, CEO of PFG commented:
"Fiona brings to PFG extensive credit card and banking
expertise. This, combined with her proven ability to drive growth
and profitability across cards and banking operations in several
large banking organisations, made her an exemplary candidate for
this role. I look forward to welcoming her to PFG in April and to
working closely with her, and the rest of the team, as we grow the
cards business back to its pre-pandemic levels."
Fiona Anderson, Managing Director of Cards, commented:
"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."
