Mr. Chiang possesses more than two decades of global leadership experience in banking technology, payments, and large-scale platform transformation, with a notable career spanning the Asia-Pacific, EMEA, and LATAM regions. Prior to joining QCC, he served in several senior technology leadership roles at Citibank N.A.

His guidance reliably produced tangible gains in scalability, system stability, cost efficiency, and speed-to-market, all while maintaining adherence to strict regulatory and operational standards in various jurisdictions.

Guided by his leadership, QCC will persist in its mission to provide secure, adaptable, and forward-looking payment infrastructure. The company offers banks, financial institutions, and enterprises a full range of services, encompassing card processing, account-to-account payments, cross-border transactions, emerging payment methods, and innovative payment technologies.
