Fintech Origo has appointed Chartered Accountant Vivienne Sacco as chief finance officer.

She was formerly ex group and UK CFO at platform engine FNZ, and has 25 years of experience working with high-growth technology and financial services firms.

She will be responsible for finance, legal and information security at Origo.

Anthony Rafferty, CEO of Origo, said Ms Sacco will be instrumental in the next phase of growth for the firm.

He said: “We have a clear path forward and Vivienne’s appointment demonstrates our continued commitment to delivering first class fintech solutions that are connecting the industry, benefitting providers and advisers through more efficient and cost-effective processes and procedures, and helping to deliver better outcomes for end consumers.”

Origo is a financial services focused technology company which claims to handle around 95% of personal pension transfers in the market via its Origo Transfer Service.

Launched in 2008, the Origo Transfer Service handled 1.5 million transfers, with more than £66bn of customer assets, during 2024.

The firm’s new Unipass Transfer Tracking service saw over 10,000 pension transfers searched for by advisers in March, the first month the service was launched. The service allows advisers to monitor the progress of their client's pension transfers through a single digital portal.

In May Origo launched whole-of-market provider coverage for its Unipass Letter of Authority (ULoA) technology.

The service gives advisers a single method for sending all LoA requests to any UK platform and product provider for free.

The company said the move has been developed with feedback from the industry and is part of a series of upgrades to the service.
