After an extensive market search, we are delighted to announce the appointment of Rebecca Tissington to the newly created role of Head of Strategic Growth at Cuscal.
Bec joined Cuscal through our acquisition of regulated data business Basiq, and was appointed Head of Strategic Partnerships in November 2024. Since May 2025, she has been simultaneously acting as Head of Business Development.
At Basiq and at Cuscal, Bec has brought exceptional energy, focus, and drive. Her appointment reflects not only her deep expertise but the significant impact she’s already made across the business.
Commenting on the appointment, Cuscal Chief Client Officer, Michael Blomfield said: “Bec is the ideal candidate to lead the growth components of our FY25-29 strategy to secure, extend, expand and drive our business forward. She brings an ideal mix of deep care for our clients and a highly specialised understanding of the market and where it’s heading.”
Previously, Bec has led successful business development and partnership teams in senior roles at Visa, Citi, and CBA, as well as at high-growth fintech scale-up, Basiq. Whether launching Australia’s first virtual card via Conferma, negotiating white-label credit card deals, or supporting the first NFC Tap n Pay transaction for Cuscal and Credit Union Australia while at Visa, Bec has a strong track record of bringing innovation to market through collaboration and execution.
Away from work, she’s a passionate foodie, mother of two, advocate for sustainable urban planning and a regular speaker on fintech innovation. With energy, authenticity, and a relentless focus on transformational outcomes, Bec isn’t just navigating the future—she’s moving payments forward.
Congratulations Bec on your appointment.
