Copenhagen, May 5, 2025 - Cardlay, a global leader in commercial card and spend management solutions, today announced the appointment of Alan Koenigsberg—former President of Visa Global Services and prominent fintech executive—to its Advisory Board. This strategic addition signals a major step in Cardlay’s expansion into the U.S. market.

With a track record of helping banks, fleet operators, and financial institutions modernize spend management and card operations, Cardlay will launch its first two U.S. solutions this summer. Koenigsberg’s deep expertise in the payments industry will be instrumental in scaling operations and forging key partnerships across North America.

Koenigsberg previously collaborated with Cardlay during his tenure at Visa, where the foundation for Cardlay’s U.S. growth strategy was established. Building on this successful relationship, he will now work closely with Cardlay’s leadership to advise on go-to-market strategy, partnership development, and enterprise expansion.

“We are thrilled to welcome Alan to the Cardlay family,” said Jørgen Christian Juul, CEO and Founder of Cardlay. “His unparalleled industry experience and strategic insight will be invaluable as we enter the U.S. market. Alan understands where the payments industry is headed—and he shares our vision for empowering financial institutions through innovation.”

Koenigsberg brings decades of leadership from roles at Visa, American Express, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America, where he consistently led high-impact market expansions and transformative growth strategies. His appointment underscores Cardlay’s commitment to becoming a leading player in the U.S. and global fintech sectors.

“Cardlay is reshaping how financial institutions approach commercial card and spend management technologies,” said Koenigsberg. “I’m excited to deepen my collaboration with Cardlay as it enters the U.S. market. The company is uniquely positioned to address critical gaps in legacy infrastructure and help banks deliver modern, digital-first experiences to their clients.”

Following his tenure at Visa, Koenigsberg founded Koenigsberg Insights, focused on fostering financial inclusion, reducing costs, and enhancing transparency across institutions of all sizes—values that align with Cardlay’s mission.

This announcement comes at a pivotal moment, as U.S. financial institutions urgently seek turnkey solutions to replace outdated systems and meet evolving customer expectations. With Koenigsberg’s leadership, Cardlay is well-positioned to become a transformative force in the American payments landscape.
