London, UK, February 2, 2022 - 10x Banking (10x) today announces the appointment of three senior sales and marketing leaders, to fuel the next stage of growth for the core banking technology provider.

These hires follow the firm’s June 2021 announcement of an oversubscribed $187 million Series C financing round, co-led by funds managed by BlackRock and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), and supported by existing investors JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Ping An and Westpac. 10x is using the funding to support expansion plans into new markets as well as investing in further development of the cloud native SuperCore™ platform.

Since 2016 10x has focused on developing SuperCore, the secure, reliable, scalable and modular core banking platform. SuperCore is purpose-built to deliver products, services, and customer experiences to retail and SME customers faster and more cost effectively.

SuperCore is enabling banks to serve customers better and using intelligent technology to deliver true transformation. In September 2021 Chase announced a partnership with 10x, to power its entry into the UK retail banking market. Other 10x clients include Westpac, Australia’s first and oldest bank where their new Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform, powered by SuperCore, has already generated many new partnerships. Among them, Afterpay will provide transaction and savings accounts, as well as other cashflow management tools, to its 3m+ customers in Australia.

“As we enter our next phase of growth the quality and financial services experience that these new business development hires bring to our business further strengthens our ability to deliver customer-centric solutions that improve the experience for every customer,” said Antony Jenkins, Founder, Chair and CEO of 10x Banking.
