UTRECHT, NETHERLANDS, May 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Quantoz Payments B.V. (Quantoz), the Netherlands-headquartered payments technology company, is pleased to announce the appointment of Folkert Miedema as incoming Chief Financial Officer (CFO), subject to approval by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), strengthening its leadership team as it scales its digital money infrastructure across fiat and digital rails.

The appointment comes at a key stage in Quantoz’s growth, as the company expands its regulated digital money infrastructure to support real-time settlement for platforms, businesses and financial institutions.

Folkert brings 30 years of experience in global financial markets. He has held senior management roles at institutions including ABN AMRO, NatWest Markets (formerly RBS), IMC and CA Indosuez, where he led teams and business lines across sales, advisory and risk management. Most recently, he worked as an independent financial risk management advisor.

Throughout his career, Folkert has operated across Europe, the United States and APAC, with a focus on navigating complex and evolving regulatory environments while building commercially driven, high-performing teams.

Arnoud Star Busmann, CEO of Quantoz Payments, said:
“Folkert brings deep experience from global financial markets at a time when the industry is undergoing structural changes. As we scale our regulated digital money infrastructure and expand into new markets, his combination of financial discipline, risk expertise and commercial mindset will be critical to our next phase of growth.”

Folkert Miedema, incoming CFO of Quantoz Payments, added:
“Quantoz is building the infrastructure for a real-time financial system, combining the strengths of traditional finance with new digital rails. I look forward to supporting the company’s continued growth and helping expand its presence to new global digital money markets.”
