Welcome to the New Era of AstroPay

October 30, 2024

Since our founding in 2009, AstroPay has had a bold mission: to create seamless pathways that connect users across the globe with innovative, borderless financial solutions. While technology has evolved, the world of finance has often remained fragmented across geographies and currencies.

Fifteen years later, we’re embarking on a transformative new chapter led by our CEO Marc Sacal, who, along with our new leadership team, is ushering in a bold vision for the future. The team brings decades of combined experience in finance and technology, positioning AstroPay to lead with trust and experience at the forefront.

AstroPay's Strategic Evolution: Leadership and New Objectives

In mid-2023, AstroPay underwent a strategic transformation, bringing on Marc Sacal –  who previously served as the COO and co-founder of Arcus Financial Intelligence (acquired by MasterCard in 2021) – as its new CEO. With decades of combined experience in finance and technology, our new leadership team including Maximo Ayerza (CFO), Diego Steinberg (COO), Guillermo Dotta (CTO), Patricia Risso (CCO), and Carolina Secondo (General Counsel) is well-equipped to lead AstroPay into the future with trust and professionalism at the forefront:

With this team’s steady hand, we are poised to unlock our mission—focused on delivering innovative, secure, and user-friendly solutions that transcend borders and currencies. We are committed to expanding AstroPay’s platform, introducing multi-currency accounts, cross border payments, and more to create a unified, borderless financial experience that fosters growth and commerce on a global scale.
