DKK Partners, a leading FinTech company that specializes in emerging markets (EM) and foreign exchange (FX) liquidity, has appointed Clifford Mettle as Executive Chairman of Ghana to help bolster their West African service offering and support their plans to provide the entire Africa region with innovative and fast payment solutions.

The new appointment represents DKK Partners’ ambitious plans to grow and act as a global leader in FinTech, allowing customers to unlock access to new territories and currencies, as well as EM liquidity, democratizing the payments industry and supporting emerging markets as they develop, providing much needed FX and financial services such as virtual IBAN accounts.

Mettle is a seasoned banker and brings with him three decades of experience with a background in African financial services and has had stints with Ghana International Bank, London and Citibank, NY. As the Chairman of the Banking Commission of the International Chamber of Commerce, Ghana, and past President of the Chartered Institute of Bankers, he will offer skills in marketing strategy, consulting, and leadership which will significantly help drive DKK Partner’s future plans.

The appointment follows DKK’s expansion into the African market, opening its Ghana operation last year to complement its existing operations in Cameroon, which was followed by them obtaining the CONSUMAF license, and Mettle will help to accelerate DKK’s plans to serve as a hub for the booming African market.

Clifford Mettle, Executive Chairman of DKK Partners Ghana, commented:

“I am excited to join the DKK Team and I hope to bring to the table varied and relevant leads and networks for the growth and development of DKK Partners. My thorough understanding of global markets, treasury functions, investments and currency movements will help to propel the business to optimal performance and efficiency, enhancing their commitment to making FinTech accessible to all.”

“I truly believe in the DKK vision, and I am excited to use my expertise and experience to support their fantastic work in such a growing and relevant sector and geographical location. The FinTech industry is booming, and I look forward to supporting businesses worldwide as they implement new and emerging technologies to help bolster their operations and success.”

Khalid Talukder, Co-found of DKK Partners, commented:

“As DKK Partners expands further across emerging markets such as the African one, we hope to continue building our team of experts and we are delighted to bring Clifford on the team as a well-respected and experienced individual within the industry. We are looking forward to driving our plans forward, offering FX and payments technologies to those who need it, promoting business growth worldwide. We are excited for what is to come and very much look forward to seeing what our new Executive Chairman of DKK Partners Ghana brings to the team.”
