Bango (AIM: BGO), the data driven commerce company, today announces that Carolyn Rand has stepped down from the Board and Chief Financial Officer role. Bango is pleased to announce the appointment of Matthew ("Matt") Jonathan Garner as Chief Financial Officer, who joins the Board of Directors with immediate effect.

Matt brings a wealth of international experience managing hi-tech businesses, which will help shape the next phase of Bango's growth. I would like to thank to Carolyn for all her hard work at Bango. She leaves the Board following a strong 2020 that saw Bango deliver 70% growth and record profitability."
Matt Garner, newly appointed CFO of Bango commented: "I am thrilled to join the talented team at Bango, at a time when so many growth opportunities lie ahead. The Bango virtuous circle strategy, where payment volumes drive payment insights - and vice versa - is compelling and the Bango vision of becoming the technology behind every payment choice is irresistible."
