In the rapidly evolving world of financial markets, few professionals make the shift from traditional treasury roles to pioneering fintech innovation. Faisal Mamsa is among the rare leaders who have successfully bridged this transition—shaping the landscape of FX markets, derivatives, Sukuk valuations, and financial data transparency in Pakistan and the broader region.

With a rich treasury background at institutions such as Union Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, and Dubai Islamic Bank Pakistan, Faisal spent over a decade understanding the complexities of foreign exchange flows, structured products, risk management, and Shariah-compliant financial solutions. This foundation became the catalyst for his journey into fintech entrepreneurship.

Treasury & FX: Building the Expertise Behind the Innovation

Faisal’s early career revolved around driving FX and derivatives adoption among corporate clients. At Union Bank and later at Standard Chartered, he led Treasury Sales teams, introducing structured FX solutions and expanding treasury capabilities.

His work contributed to improved liquidity, better pricing structures, and broader corporate participation in sophisticated hedging strategies.

A highlight of his treasury years was his leadership at Dubai Islamic Bank Pakistan, where he pioneered several Shariah-compliant derivatives and treasury products, including Wakala Istithmar and Forward Promise structures—solutions that helped corporates manage volatility without compromising compliance.

These treasury experiences shaped the strategic insight that later fueled his fintech ventures: markets cannot thrive without reliable, real-time information.

The Birth of Tresmark — A Turning Point for Financial Data in Pakistan

Identifying a major gap in the accessibility of reliable market data, Faisal founded Tresmark, now the largest financial data platform in Pakistan. The platform aggregates real-time OTC, FX, money market, derivatives, and Sukuk valuation data—empowering banks, corporates, and investors with visibility that previously did not exist.

Today, Tresmark supports 1,000+ institutions and is trusted by traders, chief dealers, treasury heads, analysts, and investment firms. Its partnerships with the State Bank of Pakistan and FMAP for benchmark rate dissemination further position it as a market-critical infrastructure.

For fintech professionals and treasury teams, Tresmark represents more than a data feed—it has become a strategic tool for:

• Accurate FX pricing

• Derivatives valuation

• Sukuk yield curve analysis

• Market transparency

• Regulatory compliance

• Investment decision-making

Advancing Sukuk & Structured Markets

Sukuk markets traditionally lack transparency due to limited reference data and pricing sources. Tresmark changed that dynamic by introducing digital Sukuk valuations, continuously updated yields, and structured product analytics.

This allowed treasury desks and Islamic financial institutions to price Shariah-compliant instruments with confidence—something previously achievable only through manual calculations.

Faisal’s treasury acumen helped bridge the gap between Islamic finance principles and modern fintech tools, placing him among the leaders advancing Shariah-compliant financial innovation.

From Markets to Governance — Expanding the Impact

Following the success of Tresmark, Faisal shifted his focus to another underserved area: corporate governance and compliance management. Recognizing inefficiencies in board meetings, documentation flows, and decision governance, he founded Axis Digital, which offers:

• AxisSign — digital signature workflows

• DiskusFlow — compliance and policy execution platform

• Diskus — AI-led digital boardroom

These tools empower corporate boards, compliance teams, and executives with real-time governance and secure decision-making systems — a natural extension of his mission to make both markets and boardrooms more transparent.

A Fintech Entrepreneur with Deep Market Roots

What sets Faisal apart from the typical fintech founder is the depth of his treasury experience. His platforms are not built from theory—they stem from real, on-ground challenges faced by bankers, traders, and compliance teams.

His transformation from treasury expert to fintech leader demonstrates how domain knowledge, when paired with technology, can reshape entire industries.
