XS.com appoints Anna Pastusenco as Group PSP and Banking Manager

FX and CFDs broker XS.com has appointed Anna Pastusenco as its new Group PSP and Banking Manager. She will work from the company's Cyprus office and oversee the broker's relationships with banks, Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs), and Payment Service Providers (PSPs).

The appointment supports XS.com's plans to expand and improve its global payment network. As brokers serve clients across more markets, reliable payment services have become an important part of account funding, withdrawals, and day-to-day operations.

In her new position, Pastusenco will manage XS.com's payment partnerships and lead projects involving payment integrations. Her responsibilities will include negotiating commercial agreements, developing relationships with financial institutions, and improving the capacity and performance of the broker's payment infrastructure across different regions.

Past experience

Pastusenco joined XS.com after spending several years at IC Markets. There, she worked on the group's international payment infrastructure, banking relationships, and partnerships with financial service providers.

Her work at IC Markets included onboarding banks, EMIs, and PSPs, negotiating business agreements, and supporting payment operations in multiple jurisdictions. She also worked with technology, compliance, legal, and finance teams to put payment solutions in place for international markets.

Earlier in her career, Pastusenco held roles at Blossem Services Ltd and Real Deposits. Those positions gave her experience in merchant onboarding, payment compliance, due diligence, and risk reviews. She also supported underwriting and operational processes while working with merchants and payment partners.

Pastusenco said she was pleased to join XS.com and would focus on developing dependable payment services through strong cooperation with the company's teams and partners. She added that her priorities would include improving the efficiency, reliability, and scalability of the broker's payment operations.

Mohamad Ibrahim, Group Chief Executive Officer at XS.com, said payment infrastructure and financial partnerships are important to any international financial company. He added that Pastusenco's background would help XS.com strengthen its operational capabilities and respond to the payment needs of its clients and business units.
