Mox Bank names StanChart’s Anshul Sabherwal as CEO

Barbaros Uygun steps down from the role after five years.

Mox, a digital bank in Hong Kong, has appointed Anshul Sabherwal as CEO, effective 10 November 2026.

Sabherwal was formerly head of products (credit cards and personal loans) and payment for Standard Chartered Hong Kong.

He succeeds Barbaros Uygun, who stepped down after five years as Mox Bank’s CEO.

Sabherwal has over two decades of consumer banking experience. Prior to working with Standard Chartered Hong Kong, he also held senior roles at Citi across Taiwan and Poland.

Mox Bank achieved breakeven in the first quarter of 2026, and sustained interim profitability through the first half of the year, said Samir Subberwal, chair of Mox and global head, wealth solutions, retail products, data & analytics at Standard Chartered.

Under Uygun’s leadership, Mox scaled into a profitable business, expanded its customer base fivefold to 800,000 customers, and successfully exported its technology stack to help build Trust Bank in Singapore.
