Brokerage executive Andrey Kalashnikov has joined Match-Trade Technologies as Head of Match2Pay.
Kalashnikov has been working at other payment firms GloboPay and ViMaPay for the last 12 months.
Prior to that he spent almost a decade as the CEO of retail broker TrioMarkets. He got his start in the industry in 2012, when he joined now-defunct broker SkyFx as an account manager.
Match2Pay is the payments arm of Match-Trade Technologies. The company works with brokers, props, and gaming companies. The simplest way to sum up its offering is that it allows these companies to take payments using cryptocurrencies.
Match2Pay has a license to act as a virtual currency exchange operator and depository virtual currency wallet operator in Lithuania.
“I decided to head Match2Pay because I see tremendous potential in this solution, especially given the upcoming regulatory changes,” said Kalashnikov. “Match2Pay’s strong IT team is one of our key competitive advantages, allowing us to deliver cutting-edge solutions.
“With the entire industry preparing for the impact of MiCA, we are also focusing on adding more licenses and fiat networks to better serve our clients. With a long-term development strategy already in place, I’m confident we will elevate Match2Pay to the next level.”
