European Network for Payments appoints William Olgiati as Chief Executive Officer

Madrid, November 10th 2026 - European Network for Payments (ENP), the joint entity established by Bancomat, Bizum, EPI/Wero, SIBS–MB WAY and Vipps MobilePay, announces the appointment of William Olgiati as Chief Executive Officer, effective 21 October 2026.

Following ENP's incorporation in Madrid and official launch in September 2026, William will now be in charge of leading the company's operational development and oversee the execution of its strategic and technical roadmap, working closely with the Board of Directors and the five founding partners.

ENP was established to build and govern a central bridge that makes European account-to-account payment solutions interoperable, so users can pay abroad as easily as at home across P2P, e-commerce and in-store payments. The company also aims to provide a scalable framework for the onboarding of additional European payment solutions over time, further extending interoperability and reach across Europe.

Together, the five founding Solutions already serve approximately 130 million users across 14 European countries. William's appointment represents another important step towards translating their shared ambition into operational reality and contributing to a more connected and sovereign European payments ecosystem.

“Connecting Europe’s mobile payment solutions will bring tangible benefits to people, enabling them to pay across borders in a simple and familiar way, using the solutions they already know and trust. William’s experience in the EU payments ecosystem, his work to improve alternative payment methods in the region, combined with his strong understanding of the payment experience from both the consumer and merchant perspectives, will be extremely valuable in turning this ambition into reality. His appointment as CEO marks an important step forward for our new company, helping us make this interconnection possible and contributing to the development of a sovereign European payments ecosystem,” said Fernando Rodriguez Ferrer, Chairman of ENP.

Before joining ENP, William was leading EU and UK payments acceptance for Amazon where he spent 14 years. In this last role, he was overseeing payments’ partnerships, costs, operations, and compliance. He has launched many of Europe’s alternative payment methods to meet evolving customer needs and tailor the merchant’s checkout to domestic preferences, and worked closely with regulators, trade groups and merchants to bring the customer perspective into key legislation such as PSD3, digital identity wallet, and the Consumer Credit Directive.

Drawing on this experience, William will bring a strong focus on execution, customer experience and merchant adoption as ENP enters its next phase. The implementation will follow a phased approach, starting with cross-border peer-to-peer (P2P) payments, followed by e-commerce and point-of-sale (POS) payments.
