Working in fintech since the 1990s, our founders gained valuable experience of building successful companies and identifying new opportunities. In 2016 they created Railsbank (now Railsr), assembled a talented team and began building our world-class platform. Together we’re committed to realising our ambition of embedding financial services for brands who want to build deeper engagement with their customers.

Philippe Morel is the CEO of Railsr. He was the CEO of SETL for four years, until its acquisition in early 2023. Prior to SETL, he was Global Head of Boston Consulting Group’s Capital Markets Practice, EMEA Leader for BCG Private Equity and Principal Investors Practice, and Chairman of the Board of Expand. Philippe has over 25 years of experience in financial services, advising corporates and financial institutions on their strategies, organisation and change management.

A financial services pioneer, Louisa was one of CIBC and Barclays Bank’s first female traders. Now a highly experienced payments, fintech and digital asset specialist, Louisa combines her keen eye for profitability with a commitment to nurturing and supporting the Railsr team through our rapid growth.
She strongly believes in good communication, learning to prioritise, and helping every individual recognise and develop their own special talents. When not encouraging our team to reach for the stars, Louisa’s competitive nature finds her hitting aces on the tennis court or hiking along the Suffolk Coast.
Rick Haythornthwaite was appointed in August 2022 as Railsr's Chairman of the board.
