The Founders who breathed into their Idea

Jay Sidhu – Chairman and CEO

Warren Taylor – President

Luvleen Sidhu – Chief Strategist.

“We have been in banking for 35-45 years with a proven track record. We see the branch network as working against many banks and believe we will be a disruptor in banking by launching BankMobile.”

Under Jay’s leadership, Sovereign Bank grew a small $700 million bank into a $90 billion bank from 1988-2006. In 2009, The founders took over a failing $200 million bank in PA (New Century Bank), renamed it Customers Bank.“We felt we lost touch with the customer at the big bank and vowed to created a bank worthy of the name, Customers Bank. We did this based on honesty/transparency with the customer and having almost no punitive fees – delivering the high touch / high tech philosophy from day one”.

This worked phenomenally, the branches (on average) have over $160 million in deposits – This is about 3 times more than the average big bank has in deposits per branch, yet only has 4.5 FTEs per branch.These savings and passed it on to the customer in the form of paying higher deposit rates and having little to no punitive fees, this model worked extremely well. But what if it could bring our overhead down even lower by growing without branches – using mobile technology to gain customers? This was the evolution of BankMobile.

Challenges and Potentials.

The biggest hurdle was bonding with great partners and formulating the existence to the Country. “We believe every consumer should bank with us – if they don’t, they are either not acquainted or we are not doing our job.”

It aims to make banking effortless, more convenient, and truly being an advocate for our customer by acting in their best interest with honesty and transparency.

The big banks “trick” customers, having legally accurate ads that are deceptive, and impose customers with ridiculous fees. Banks collected over $32 billion in overdraft fees last year .

“We, as a country, spent just $7.5 billion on breast cancer and $5 billion on lung cancer. That is $32 billion from people who can probably least afford it.”

The Face off and Head-ways

Big banks, they own about 70% of the deposit market and have huge marketing budgets to gain brand awareness.

Neo-banks, People are looking for a different experience from the big banks. However, unlike neo-banks, we offer joint accounts, a savings account, an unsecured line of credit, and absolutely no fees.

For future, the work will progress towards making the app more appealing with more capabilities and products like loans, CDs, and alternative investments.
