Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS.LN) said Tuesday that it
has appointed a cryptocurrency executive as head of its new digital
bank for small businesses.
The U.K. lender said Marieke Flament has been appointed chief
executive of Mettle, which it launched last year as a standalone
service for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Ms. Flament was previously chief marketing officer and European
managing director for U.S. cryptofinance company Circle.
"She has a proven track record of breaking boundaries in the
finance sector, and hands-on knowledge of adapting to a constantly
evolving tech landscape and providing new innovative solutions to
meet customers' needs," Alison Rose, head of commercial-and-private
banking at RBS, said.
The appointment is the latest in a number made by traditional
U.K. banks from among their digital rivals.
Earlier this week, technology site TechCrunch reported that the
founder of millennial-focused banking app Loot, Ollie Purdue, will
join RBS after the U.K. startup fell into administration.
Meanwhile, Barclays PLC (BARC.LN) appointed Megan Caywood as its
new head of digital strategy in January, poaching her from
online-only bank Starling.
