Wethersfield’s Payveris, which makes a cloud-based platform for making bank payments and transfers, said it has hired Jeffrey Weikert as president.
Weikert — who most recently worked as a sales vice president for Minnesota check-printer Deluxe Corp. — succeeds founder Fran Duggan, who will fill the newly created role of chief operating officer.
Weikert has spent 30 years working in the banking and digital payments industries. He previously worked for CheckFree, which was acquired by Fiserv, and has held senior and executive roles at Deloitte & Touche, Bank of America, SunTrust, RewardsNOW and payment start-up Verient.
Payveris said Duggan’s new role will allow him to increase his focus on product enhancement and innovation, and meeting customer expectations.
Weikert said in a statement that he was drawn to Payveris in part because of its innovative payments platform.
“It’s an approach that provides for a more integrated payment process that creates a better overall and more streamlined user experience than what is currently available in the market today,” he said.
