Australian technology payment company Assembly Payments has appointed its new co-CEOs, as the firm plans to grow its presence across Europe and Asia.

Singapore-based Rimal Gokani brings two decades of international experience working in both finance and technology for Deutsche Bank, the London Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. 

He joins the company from SC Ventures, Standard Chartered's innovation and venture arm, which entered into a joint venture with Assembly earlier this year. 

Tim Dickinson brings almost two decades of experience in the technology industry. He joined Assembly in 2017 and helped the company scale from startup to growth, and was most recently its general manager, based in Melbourne.

Global Rollout

Following almost a year of planning and structuring, the pair are expected to lead the company as it aims to deliver next-generation payment solutions to merchants globally.

«There has never been a greater need for global timely and effective payment technology. The speed and fluidity of payments could be the difference in dampening the blow of the ongoing Covid-19 led crisis,» Dickinson said about the company's expansion plans, in a statement on Friday.

Launched in 2013 Assembly automates and manages payment processes for businesses, and has since processed more than $2 billion in transactions. The firm opened its Singapore headquarters earlier this year.
