Mox Bank names Anshul Sabherwal as new CEO, replacing Barbaros Uygun
Mox Bank has appointed Anshul Sabherwal as its new chief executive, succeeding Barbaros Uygun. The bank says it achieved breakeven in the first quarter of 2026 and sustained interim profitability through the first half of the year.
Mox Bank has appointed Anshul Sabherwal, Standard Chartered Hong Kong’s head of products for credit cards, personal loans and payments, as its new chief executive, effective immediately. He succeeds Barbaros Uygun.
Sabherwal has more than two decades of consumer banking experience in driving large and complex businesses through diverse market conditions, the bank said. Under his leadership, Standard Chartered successfully scaled its credit cards and personal loans business and managed strategic partnerships in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered’s largest market. He also held senior roles at Citi across Taiwan and Poland.
“Mox has built a strong foundation over the past six years. Having achieved breakeven in the first quarter of 2026 and sustained interim profitability through first half of the year, we are now entering our next growth phase,” said Samir Subberwal, chair of Mox and global head of wealth solutions, retail products, data and analytics at Standard Chartered.
Uygun stepped down after five years as Mox CEO. Subberwal said that under Uygun’s leadership, Mox scaled into a profitable business, expanded its customer base fivefold to 800,000 customers, strengthened core capabilities, and successfully exported its technology stack to help build Trust Bank in Singapore.
