Our team

The team behind Monetty

Meet the people building Monetty. Led by Founder & CEO Michael James, the team is supported by experienced regulatory advisors and licensed partners across key markets to ensure compliant and reliable operations.

Michael James

Founder & CEO

Michael James

Michael leads Monetty after more than a decade building and operating fintech systems—payments infrastructure, digital banking, and compliance-heavy platforms. His background is in software engineering and computer science; he has shipped products at companies including BairesDev, Repay, Arivo, MyBambu, and Klever, spanning cross-border flows, neo-banking experiences, and regulated money movement. He founded Monetty to bring that depth to corridors where costs and delays are still too high, and to keep pricing and delivery expectations honest for customers.

Governance & partners

Compliance, advisory, and settlement support

Monetty is supported by independent UK regulatory advisers, including Fintech Compliance UK, as well as licensed financial and payment partners in the markets we serve. These relationships support compliance, settlement, and operational resilience. They are separate from Monetty’s operating team and do not imply regulatory approval of Monetty by third parties.
