Global Recognition Awardee Maurice Weber Strategically Leads Henripay to Success

Share this news:

Maurice Weber of HenriPay Holding N.V., a Global Recognition awardee, has successfully pivoted his company from its origins in real estate and construction to become a major player in financial technology.

-- HenriPay Holding N.V., a publicly traded financial management holding company listed on the German stock exchange, has achieved remarkable growth since its strategic pivot to fintech, with market capitalization expanding from €500 million to over €4 billion in just three years. 


Maurice Adam Weber became a major shareholder in October 2022 after helping the company go public. As CEO of the Fintech Department, Weber built a banking approach that teaches financial wellness instead of just handling money transfers.


Weber's work earned him a 2025 Global Recognition Award for his contributions to financial technology. The award highlighted his goal of making money management skills available to everyone regardless of their background.

HenriPay's Money Makeover

"Our vision has always been to create financial technology that genuinely improves people's lives," said Weber, who leads Henri, the company's main banking product. "We guide users toward financial fitness rather than simply processing transactions, filling a gap that traditional banks and most digital banks have missed."


The company added Chakib Bouda to its Advisory Board this month. Bouda, who previously ran Visa's Token ID division, brings payment security knowledge that will help with HenriPay's growth plans and its new banking product launch later this year.

From Pages to Practice: Weber's Financial Insights

Weber co-authored the book "From Vaults to Clouds" alongside Benjamin van der Lande, exploring the dramatic changes in banking since the 2008 financial crisis. Published in December 2024, the book examines how traditional banking systems have given way to digital alternatives and what this means for everyday users.


"The book started as a way to document what we were seeing in the industry, but it became much more," Weber explained. "It's both an analysis of why traditional banks struggle to adapt and a roadmap for how financial technology can help ordinary people take control of their money."


The Amazon bestseller has drawn attention for its clear explanation of complex financial topics and its practical advice for readers. Its success highlights Weber's dual talents as both a business leader and an educator passionate about financial literacy.

Cash and Dash: HenriPay's Tech Twist

HenriPay offers more than standard banking services with its "Frictionless bars" concept, which allows cashless payments in busy venues using special communication technology. This varied approach to financial technology has kept the company growing despite tough competition in digital banking.


Benjamin van der Lande, Chief Marketing Officer of Henri, praised the company's newest advisor: "When I shared our vision for the future, Chakib immediately saw the potential. That kind of quick understanding is rare, and it was clear that he was the right fit for our team."


HenriPay plans to expand worldwide by focusing on markets where traditional banking is limited. The company's debt-free structure and strong finances provide a solid base for growth, while its experience with large projects including a €100 million construction deal.
