Alison Taylor, CEO of CAF Bank comments: “CAF Bank’s mission is to be the preferred banking partner of UK small and medium sized charities and social purpose enterprises, operating across a broad range of sectors. Over the next two years, our aim is to transform our systems and processes to deliver enhanced customer experience across a greater choice of channels, including improved online banking and a new mobile proposition.
“We are delighted to welcome Sam to our Board, knowing how much value she will bring with her digital and fintech experience and how closely her social purpose ethos aligns with our own.”
Samantha Seaton, CEO of Moneyhub, comments: “In all that I do, my aim is to make financial services more accessible, transparent and easier to understand. At Moneyhub, our mission is to help enhance the lifetime financial wellness of people, their communities and their businesses. CAF Bank’s philosophy matches this mission and my own aims perfectly. All too often, banks lose sight of the key ingredient behind their powerhouse presence in the economy - their customers. It is a privilege to help CAF Bank progress in a fast-moving technical world with a focus on providing banking services tailored to meet and exceed their customers’ needs now and in the future.”
