Banking Circle has appointed Patrick Green as its chief compliance officer, who has more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector.
Green will take over from Björn Krog Andersen, whose new responsibilities will comprise commercial responsibility for Banking Circle’s UAE expansion.
Green’s duties will include leading the firm’s global compliance strategy, which consists of overseeing financial crime and regulatory compliance across international jurisdictions.
Prior to his appointment, he was Banking Circle’s head of anti-money laundering and its UK money laundering reporting officer, having joined the company in 2020 as head of client onboarding.
Before joining Banking Circle, Green spent 12 years at Barclays, spanning multiple positions across relationship management, client onboarding, and cash management.
Speaking on the appointment, Laust Bertelsen, CEO at Banking Circle, says: “Patrick’s appointment reflects our continued investment in leadership that can support Banking Circle’s expansion into new markets and regulatory regimes.
“His experience building scalable, risk‑based compliance frameworks is critical as we grow our international platform and deepen our role as a trusted banking partner to regulated financial institutions.”
Green adds: “Banking Circle has built a strong foundation in compliance, and I’m excited to take this to the next level as we continue to scale globally.
“My focus will be on ensuring our framework remains robust, transparent and proportionate, while enabling clients to operate with confidence in increasingly complex environments.”
