Based in the ShopBack Group headquarters in Singapore, Hamish will be responsible for leading the development and rollout of commerce-related financial services under the ShopBack brand. He brings onboard over 25 years of rich leadership experience to the Group’s leadership bench. In his previous roles as Chief Commercial Officer and Managing Director, Asia and Global Payments at ASX-listed Zip Co Limited, Hamish spearheaded Zip’s advancement into the global payments ecosystem, and built key partnerships to drive rapid growth for merchants. Prior to that, he held key leadership positions in global financial services and ecommerce giants, including Visa, PayPal, and eBay.
“ShopBack exists to make shopping rewarding, delightful and accessible for shoppers. With the addition of financial services to ShopBack’s shopping platform, and leveraging on Hamish’s domain expertise and market knowledge, the Group is well-positioned to be the growth partner of choice for thousands of merchants across the Asia-Pacific,” said Henry Chan, Co-founder and CEO of ShopBack Group.
Hamish joins ShopBack at an inflection point in the company’s growth. In December 2021, ShopBack completed the acquisition of leading ‘buy now, pay later’ (BNPL) platform hoolah, marking its first foray into the financial services space. ShopBack Pay, a new product that allows users to pay via different digital wallets while stacking rewards, will go live at over 2,000 participating outlets in Singapore this month. In 2021, the Group powered over US$3.5B of annual sales to over 10,000 online and in-store merchant partners across the Asia-Pacific.
"I am extremely excited by the opportunity ahead for ShopBack. The idea of bringing together sophisticated marketing services and a scaled demand generation engine with new financial services is very powerful and generates true value for merchants and consumers. This enhances ShopBack’s mission to make shopping better, every day. Digital payments will continue its rapid growth throughout Asia and I’m thankful that I can bring my experience in this area to the ShopBack team." said Hamish.
The ShopBack Group is Asia-Pacific’s leading shopping, rewards, and payments platform, serving over 50 million shoppers across 12 markets. In 2023, the Group expanded its offerings into Germany, signalling its entry into the European market.
Driven by the vision to be the world's most rewarding way to shop, ShopBack is dedicated to saving members money and time, while delivering delightful experiences with every purchase. The platform also enables merchants and brands to engage with their members in a cost-effective manner.
Founded in 2014, ShopBack now powers over US$4 billion in annual sales for over 20,000 online and in-store partners. Facilitating upwards of half a million transactions daily, ShopBack continues to provide value to both members and merchants through its innovative offerings.
