Anatol von Hahn joins Meed as Vice-Chairman
Meed, the Santa Monica-based company committed to bringing
socially-conscious innovation to the financial sector, today announced
that Anatol von Hahn had agreed to join as Vice-Chairman. Von Hahn had
been announced as a member of the Meed Advisory Board back in March,
after he left a distinguished career of over 30 years in international
banking with the Scotiabank organization across Canada as well as the
establishment and expansion of operations in Mexico, the Caribbean and
across Central and South America. In addition to taking up this new
position, von Hahn has also joined the group of private investors behind
the Meed venture.
"Having known and worked alongside Anatol for the past 15 years,
inviting him to join the Meed Advisory Board was an obvious step," said
Meed's CEO Les Riedl. "His valuable experience and list of achievements
speak for themselves, and the fact that we have been able to have him
join the leadership team here at Meed is a major coup for us and a
testament to the potential of the brand as we approach our worldwide
launch."
"I am absolutely delighted to be joining Meed in this new role," said
von Hahn. "Having worked with them recently, it was quickly clear to me
that there is an exceptional quality to their management team. Their
drive, dedication and proven abilities ultimately made tis a simple yet
exciting choice for me. I have no doubt that we will be able to meet the
challenging goals the company has set for itself, but also to deliver
significant financial help to those around the world who need it the
most."
Meed is gearing up for launch within months across its initial countries
of Vietnam, Mexico, U.S. and Canada. With a suite of affordable
financial services products from its Member Banks, Meed is targeting the
huge segment of people worldwide who are disenfranchised from the
current banking system, either by choice or by circumstance. Meed offers
a new choice to this generation through its partnership with
socially-conscious Member Banks who have aligned behind Meed's vision of
financial mobility for all.
Meed's innovative mobile app will provide access to Member Banks that
offer a demand deposit account, a security savings account, a secured
line of credit, domestic and international transfers between Meed users,
as well as access to the income-building SocialBoostTM
program, which gives users the opportunity to earn a new income stream
in return for growing the Meed community. For every $1 earned by Meed
users through SocialBoost's personal community plan, another $1 is
returned by the Member Banks to the worldwide Meed community, helping
those who need it the most.
