BlytzPay Strengthens Fintech Partnership Play with New SVP Hire

In a strategic move to scale its partner ecosystem and drive growth, BlytzPay has appointed payments industry veteran Matt Marderness as Senior Vice President of Partnerships and Alliances.

Marderness brings over 20 years of experience in electronic payments and enterprise partnerships, most recently serving as Senior Director of Enterprise Sales at Solutions by Text, a text-based engagement platform for financial institutions and lenders. He also held senior roles at PayNearMe, Corpay, and Paymentus, where he helped expand market reach through product-aligned, customer-first strategies.

“BlytzPay is building something special—not just in terms of product, but how they engage the entire ecosystem,” said Marderness. “This role lets me double down on simplifying complexity with partners who care about creating seamless, human-centered experiences.”

As SVP, Marderness will lead BlytzPay’s efforts to deepen relationships with software platforms, channel partners, and strategic alliances. His focus: building joint value through collaborative go-to-market programs and accelerating adoption of BlytzPay’s collections management platform—designed to speed up payments and enhance borrower engagement.

Robyn Burkinshaw, BlytzPay’s Founder and CEO, highlighted Marderness’ mix of trust, humility, and execution. “Matt understands the real-world needs of organizations and how to deliver lasting outcomes. He’s the right person to evolve what partnership means in today’s fintech landscape.”

As BlytzPay continues to expand its impact across lenders and payment workflows, this appointment signals a serious push into scalable partnerships—a crucial lever in a competitive, API-driven fintech ecosystem.
