Currency.com, the global fintech firm, is strengthening its US presence, having secured its 31st Money Transmitter Licence in Tennessee. On a mission to deliver a customer-centric, multi-service platform for the American market, the organisation has announced two new appointments, which will see Currency.com hit its goals in the country.
Enrico Serafini is joining Currency.com as chief executive officer, US, with over two decades of experience in scaling high-growth fintech ventures and building trusted, innovative platforms. He is also a senior advisor to international organisations across fintech, government, and critical infrastructure sectors. As US CEO, he will spearhead Currency.com’s expansion in the United States, leveraging his deep expertise in regulatory strategy, digital asset infrastructure, and customer experience.
Alongside Serafini, Currency.com has also appointed a new chief operating officer, US, Dave Ackerman. Ackerman will oversee the execution of Currency.com’s strategy for the American market, ensuring the delivery of frictionless, secure, and compliant financial services tailored to the needs of American businesses and consumers.
Ackerman commented on his approach to the COO position: “Currency.com’s commitment to ‘regulation by design’ and its use of generative AI and high-performance infrastructure set it apart in the fintech space. I am excited to help deliver a truly frictionless experience for the US digital finance market, where users can transact, invest, and manage assets without barriers or complexity. Our focus on trusted technology, global licensing, and customer-centricity positions us to lead the next era of digital finance in America.”
Broadening services across the US
The recently acquired Money Transmitter Licence marked the latest milestone in the company’s journey, as it aims to have full licensure across all 50 states. Last month, Currency.com also announced a new mobile application which is now accessible across the 31 states it has a presence, as well as internationally (Currency.com has operations in over 100 countries and has a growing network of regulatory approvals in the European Union and Gibraltar).
Currently, Currency.com is integrating decentralised finance, traditional investment, and payments into its single and secure ecosystem.
The firm is showing no signs of slowing down as it plans to continue expanding the availability of its services across the US and internationally in the near future and is actively working on projects to broaden the app’s capabilities.
Konstantin Anissimov, global chief executive officer of Currency.com, commented on the new appointments and the trajectory of the company: “I am thrilled to welcome Serafini and Ackerman to the Currency.com team. Their appointments mark a significant milestone in Currency.com’s journey to build the future of finance in the United States.
“Serafini and Ackerman both embody the spirit of innovation, integrity, and customer-centricity that defines our company. Their leadership will be instrumental as we accelerate our US growth, deepen our regulatory partnerships, and deliver transformative services that remove friction from digital finance. We are here to show the world what financial freedom truly looks like — powered by regulation, technology, and a relentless focus on the end user.”
