Lloyds Bank Corporate & Institutional Banking has announced the appointment of Maria Shaw as managing director, head of card payments.

Shaw is joining the bank from Barclaycard, where she held several roles during her 20-year career at the company.

She most recently served as customer engagement and growth director, with earlier roles including leading programmes across Europe to improve customer experience and driving net growth across UK portfolios.

In this newly created role, Shaw will be responsible for new business and proposition improvement for Lloyds Bank’s merchant card customers, through its Cardnet joint venture.

“Maria’s considerable experience in the card payments space will help us meet the demand and drive from our clients seeking our support on card payments, alternative payment methods and integrated gateway solutions,” said Alex Young, managing director and head of transaction banking solutions, Lloyds Bank Corporate & Institutional Banking.

The appointment comes after several new managing director hires in the transaction banking solutions team, including the appointment of Mansour Davarian in November to head up its corporate trade finance and working capital sales team and most recently, Iain Wyper to lead the corporate cash management & payments team.

Maria Shaw, managing director and head of card payments said: “The card payments space continues to see considerable innovation and growth – driven by the end-consumer, who increasingly expect simple and intuitive e-commerce and payments solutions wherever they shop."
