Numbers speak louder than rumours. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 📈 💷 Since building my businesses in the United Kingdom, the historical gross personal income (I am UK domecile and UK tax resident) and company revenue I can currently evidence total approximately: £81.05 million ✨ 💷 Over the same historical period, my UK companies have generated and remitted approximately: £9,698,659.23 in taxes and statutory remittances ✨ 💷 And an important point: these figures do not include 2026! 🫣 These are not estimates invented for LinkedIn. They are figures taken from accounting records, tax returns and supporting documentation (Company House publicly available data nd HMRC). To all my critics — yes, it has been declared to HMRC. Otherwise I would hardly be publishing the numbers under my own name. 😄 I have always believed that contribution should be measurable. Building companies is not only about valuation, turnover, offices, titles or press releases. It is also about salaries paid, jobs created, taxes generated, VAT remitted, PAYE contributed, National Insurance paid and money put back into the economy. So when people ask what I have personally contributed to the United Kingdom, I am happy to put my name next to the numbers: 🇬🇧 £81.05m+ historical gross personal income and company revenue identified. 🇬🇧 £9.69m+ company taxes and statutory remittances identified. 2026 not included (once again to highlight). And yes — I have the evidence. My accounting records. My HMRC records. My company accounts. My name. I am proud of what we have built in Britain, and even more proud that the growth of my businesses has translated into a meaningful contribution to the country that gave me the opportunity to build them. The next chapter is only getting bigger. 🇬🇧📈 Of course, with God's help, as you never know what awaits you around the corner, I hope that all will be well and I will still be useful to the country!

I have a feeling some of you are getting bored with my polished corporate posts… 😂 Payments. FinTech. AI. Regulation. Expansion. Audits. Another meeting. Another announcement. So, considering how much you seemed to enjoy my post from the London Tattoo Show, I thought I’d continue ruining my carefully polished CEO image. 😎🤘 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 Meet Martins Kaija — my tattoo master, artist and, after spending probably far too many hours together over the years, a good friend. Martins has inked pretty much my whole body. And when you see his work, you’ll understand why I keep coming back. For me, tattooing has never been about randomly putting pictures on the skin. I love the entire creative process — sitting together, throwing around ideas, taking something that exists only in your imagination and watching an artist slowly turn it into something real. And Martins is one of those people who doesn’t simply tattoo. He creates art. His drawings are incredible, his studio looks like somewhere between an art gallery, an anatomy museum and the home of a slightly disturbed Victorian collector 😂 — and somehow I feel completely at home there. Today we’re working on another piece. You can see the journey in the photos: from an idea, to a drawing, to the stencil, and eventually onto the skin. And yes… there is still some empty space left on me. Martins considers this a problem that requires urgent attention. 😂😂😂 I also couldn’t leave without taking home a couple more of his original artworks. At this rate, soon I’ll have his work on my walls AND on most of my body. Business is a huge part of my life. But it isn’t my entire personality. Sometimes I’m the CEO of a FinTech company. Sometimes I’m a husband and a father. And sometimes I’m sitting in a tattoo chair for hours thinking: why the hell did I choose this particular spot? 😂 All of them are me. So here’s another little piece of life behind the title. And Martins — thank you, brother. For the art, the friendship, and for repeatedly convincing me that “this one won’t hurt too much.” 🤣🤘 #Tattoo #TattooArt #Art #Creativity #BehindTheTitle #BeYourself #LifeBeyondBusiness #FinTechCEO #london #remi #hugoremi #cardaq #ixxov #fintech #business #london #unitedkingdom

Payments are at the heart of everything we do — and this is a key position within our business.

Cardaq is entering an exciting stage of its development. We are investing heavily in our own technology, expanding internationally and building the infrastructure and partnerships that will support the next chapter of the business.

Everyone seems to be trying to polish their image these days. To look more corporate. More perfect. More serious. More “appropriate”. I’d rather just be myself. The good and the bad. The serious and the ridiculous. The positive days and the difficult ones. The businessman, the husband, the father — and simply me. Yes, I am a CEO. But before any title, I am a human being. And one of my genuine passions has always been tattoo culture. Today I spent some time at the Big London Tattoo Show at ExCeL London, and it was genuinely brilliant. The art, the craftsmanship, the individuality, the slightly crazy atmosphere 😂 — it felt great to be surrounded by people who understand that self-expression doesn’t always have to fit into a corporate box. Sometimes it’s healthy to leave the meetings, regulations, presentations and endless emails behind and simply spend a day around something you love. And naturally, I couldn’t leave empty-handed. A couple of tattoo books, some artwork, a few questionable purchases… 😅 But the absolute winner is the little “Tears of My Enemies” jar. 😂😂😂 That one is definitely going somewhere in my office. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 I don’t particularly want to build a perfectly polished public image. I’d rather people know the actual person behind the title. Life is far too short to spend it pretending to be somebody else. And as AC/DC put it: “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ’n’ roll.” 🤘⚡️💀☠️🫶 #TattooCulture #LondonTattooShow #TattooArt #Leadership #Authenticity #BeYourself #CEO #London #remi #londonexcel #unitedkingdom #hugoremi #remifamily #cardaq #pridepay #teido #ixxov #fintech #finance

Another important milestone for Cardaq — and this one I was very happy to test personally today. 📱💳 Google Pay is now LIVE for Cardaq Issuing. 🚀 After all the development, certification, integration and testing behind the scenes, our issuing customers can now enable their cardholders to add eligible Cardaq-issued cards to Google Wallet and use Google Pay for contactless payments. And yes — before announcing it, I wanted to see it working myself. 😄 Today I added my Pridepay Mastercard issued by Cardaq to Google Wallet. Card eligibility checked. ✅ Card provisioned. ✅ Virtual card created. ✅ Contactless payments enabled. ✅ Seeing “Virtual card is ready to make contactless payments” on the screen is a very simple message — but there is a considerable amount of technology, scheme work, security and infrastructure behind making that message appear. For our issuing partners, this is much more important than another feature on a roadmap. It means they can provide their customers with the modern digital-wallet experience people now expect from a card product — while Cardaq provides the issuing infrastructure underneath it. And we are not stopping here. Our objective is straightforward: if you build an issuing programme with Cardaq, you should not have to compromise between flexibility, technology, compliance and customer experience. A huge thank you to everyone at Cardaq and to our partners who worked on getting this over the line. 👏 One more item moved from “coming soon” to “LIVE.” 🔥 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Google Pay for Cardaq Issuing — available now. #Cardaq #GooglePay #GoogleWallet #Payments #FinTech #CardIssuing #DigitalPayments #ContactlessPayments #Mastercard #PaymentTechnology #ixxov #google #hugoremi #remi #london #unitedkingdom

Cardaq’s CEO Hugo Remi joined Jack Robertson from The Payments Association for a new episode of The Insights Podcast — and let’s just say, it was far from your typical compliance conversation. Together, they explored the growing issue of friendly fraud — when legitimate transactions are disputed — and why it’s one of the most underestimated challenges facing today’s payment providers. Hugo shared how early, proactive engagement with regulators can help future-proof financial institutions, and why a UK-wide fraud register could transform how merchants and consumers stay protected. Cardaq is committed to helping our clients stay one step ahead by building payment solutions that are secure against evolving fraud risks. 🎧 The episode is available now on The Payments Association’s page. https://lnkd.in/ek3PywV3 #Cardaq #Fintech #FraudPrevention

Came back to New York to spend some time in our office, still a long way to go, but the dream must come true, otherwise what are we living for?
