London,  3 November 2026 – Zepz, the global payments group behind WorldRemit and Sendwave, today announced the appointment of Steven Eisenhauer as its new Chief Risk & Compliance Officer (CRCO).

Steven Eisenhauer joins Zepz this month and will lead the group’s global risk and compliance strategy, building on the compliance expertise already in the business.

Steven has led this work globally across banking, payments and digital assets, and he joins a highly capable team.

His appointment reflects how central the function is to our business and to the millions of people who rely on us.” 

Steven Eisenhauer, Chief Risk & Compliance Officer at Zepz, said: “Zepz ambition to expand financial opportunity is rooted in genuine care for its customers and the communities who depend on them.
