Noel Moran
VALERIE Moran co-founded Prepaid Financial Services (PFS), which specializes in financial technology with her husband Noel Moran in 2008.
Valerie Moran was born into a family of five children. Originally from Zimbabwe, her parents were successful entrepreneurs. Her mother was a beautician while her dad owned many businesses including a school uniform factory, bakery, and a property investment firm.
Besides her parents being entrepreneurs, several of her uncles and aunties were university professors and deans at universities. Education was highly promoted in her family.
She went to college to study COBOL/Fortran/C (programming language) and graduated to become a talented Systems Analyst. While in Zimbabwe, there was no work for a Woman-In-Tech, so Valerie moved to London, she said in an interview with Anne Marie Ruby.
Irish fintech Sentenial has been sold to Australian company EML Payments for up to €110m.
Sentenial, a payments processing company, is being sold for an upfront price of €70m, with a further earn-out element of up to €40m.
The deal includes Sentenial’s open banking product Nuapay.
Sentenial and Nuapay operate in the fast-growing European Open Banking sector. The company processes €45bn worth of payments per year and is regulated in both the UK and France.
The company is currently connected to 1,750 banks across Europe.
EML intends to expand Sentenial s platform and products into the North American and Australian markets.
