HSBC Malta has announced that regulatory approval has been granted for the appointment of Mandy Falzon as its Chief Compliance Officer.

Dr Falzon, who joined the bank’s legal department in 2006 and went on to join the bank’s Regulatory Compliance Function and eventually serve as Deputy Head of Regulatory Compliance, is replacing Anthony Abela in the CCO role, upon his retirement in January.
The appointment was announced on 5th January, and is effective from 25th March 2021.
He believes it could represent a 'step function improvement' for Europe’s startup ecosystem.
David Curmi nonetheless stressed that the airline has measures in place to manage the risk responsibly.
'I am incredibly honoured.'
'Subtle double-takes, lowered expectations, and quiet assumptions.'
