CLOWD9, the pioneering fintech recognized as the worlds first 100 cloud-native issuer processor, has announced the appointment of veteran entrepreneur Scott Walker to its Board of Directors as a Non-Executive Director. Walker, the former President and CEO of Billmatrix Corporation, brings a wealth of experience in scaling small entrepreneurial firms into market leaders. His appointment is seen as a strategic move to bolster CLOWD9s leadership as it navigates a global payments market that is projected to reach a staggering 135 billion by 2027.
The appointment comes at a high-growth period for CLOWD9, which remains the only issuer processor to connect directly to the cloud endpoints of major networks including Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. By utilizing a 100 cloud-native architecture, the platform removes the rigid barriers associated with legacy infrastructure. This enables businesses to deploy agile payment products with unrivaled efficiency, significantly reducing the time-to-market and lowering operating costs compared to traditional industry standards.
Reflecting on his new role, Walker noted that CLOWD9 has successfully addressed a long-standing industry challenge: delivering true cloud-native processing at a global scale. He emphasized that the companys architecture does not represent mere incremental change but serves as a foundation for market leadership in a digital-first economy. Walker expressed strong confidence in the existing team and their ability to provide exceptional service while expanding into new international territories.
