iVendi, a provider of motor retail technology, has appointed James Walker to the newly created role of Vice President of Banking Alliances.

Walker will oversee iVendi’s banking alliances team, which manages relationships with a range of lenders, from domestic motor finance providers to international banks.

Bringing over 13 years of experience from Santander Consumer Finance, where he most recently served as global account director, Walker managed international partnerships with digital retailers and marketplaces.

Speaking about his new role, Walker said: “There’s a real energy, commitment and creativity at iVendi, which has led to what I believe is a market-leading proposition for lenders, dealers and consumers in the motor finance sector. This has already resulted in key sign-ups during the final quarter of 2024.

“My aim is to foster strong and mutually beneficial relationships with our finance partners, demonstrating how iVendi’s new point-of-sale products can support their growth efficiently and compliantly, backed by the deep data insights we provide.”

Darren Sinclair, Chief Commercial Officer at iVendi, added: “Our relationships with the financial sector are crucial to our current and future success, and James has the knowledge and experience to maximise our opportunities.
