He succeeds Kent Landvatter, who will remain executive chairman of FinWise Bank and chairman and CEO of the bank’s holding company, FinWise Bancorp, which has been publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market since 2021.
Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Murray, Utah, FinWise Bank specialises in providing banking and payment solutions for fintechs. The bank previously selected Finastra’s core banking platform, Fusion Phoenix, to power its operations in 2022.
Its product suite includes cards and BIN sponsorship, a credit enhancement programme, the MoneyRails payment hub, and strategic programme lending, with the bank claiming to have delivered total lifetime loan originations of over $20 billion.
Noone holds specific experience in the lending sector, owing to his previous positions as executive vice president at lending service provider Prudent Lenders, and as SBA lending and credit manager at small business lender Seedcopa.
