Provident appoints Managing Director of Cards

Provident Financial Group (PFG) has announced the appointment of Fiona Anderson as Managing Director of Cards, subject to regulatory approval.

Anderson has a wealth of significant experience across credit cards and personal banking. From 2019 to 2021, she served as Head of Everyday Banking at HSBC and prior to that she held senior positions at Mastercard and Barclaycard including Head of Growth Accounts for Mastercard Worldwide. Her most recent role was Managing Director, Global Consumer Solutions UK at Equifax, the consumer credit reporting agency.

She brings significant expertise to the credit card business at an exciting time as PFG continues to invest and grow its card offering. Her appointment will enhance the existing operational and commercial expertise within Vanquis Bank whilst also complementing the existing credit card experience of the PFG and Vanquis Bank Boards.

Malcolm Le May, CEO of PFG said “Fiona brings to PFG extensive credit card and banking expertise. This, combined with her proven ability to drive growth and profitability across cards and banking operations in several large banking organisations, made her an exemplary candidate for this role. I look forward to welcoming her to PFG in April and to working closely with her, and the rest of the team, as we grow the cards business back to its pre-pandemic levels.”
