PayPal big hitter joins Splitit

PayTech venture Splitit has appointed former PayPal exec Andrew Pipolo to lead its Australian and Asia Pacific (APAC) growth strategy.

Pipolo, who managed PayPal’s entry into both the Australian and Japanese markets and has also worked with Mastercard and LoopPay (now Samsung Pay), says: “Splitit is the only solution of its kind and can already be offered in a multitude of countries under their current regulatory and licensing environments and without any further product development. Whether it is Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, China or any other country in the region, we can offer merchants and shoppers something no one else can.”

“I have been fortunate enough to have helped grow some of the most successful payment solutions in the world, and I am excited to have the opportunity to put that knowledge and experience to work with Splitit.”
