WalletConnect Recruits Checkout.com Veteran Riaz Bordie to Take Crypto Payments Mainstream

WalletConnect, a company that enables businesses to accept crypto and stablecoin payments, has appointed Riaz Bordie, a former Checkout.com and SumUp, as its chief technology officer.

Bordie will drive the technical development of WalletConnect Pay, the company’s payment method that allows the acceptance of crypto and stablecoin payments on a widely adopted wallet network, and the integration of that product into existing payment service provider (PSP) payment stacks, the company said in a press release emailed to PYMNTS.
