The former Standard Chartered executive succeeds Barbaros Uygun as the digital bank looks to build on profitability and accelerate its next phase of growth.

Mox Bank has appointed Anshul Sabherwal (pictured above) as CEO, effective 10 November 2026.

Sabherwal succeeds Barbaros Uygun, who stepped down after five years in the role.

Before joining Mox, Sabherwal served as Head of Products (Credit Cards and Personal Loans) and Payment at Standard Chartered Hong Kong.
