“We made the commitment to be one of the top financial institutions serving commercial cryptocurrency and digital asset institutions and we understand all requirements, pitfalls and the possibilities for crypto customers,” stated Sam Sidhu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Customers Bank. “These clients require a financial partner that has the technology and agility to scale with their requirements throughout the entire ecosystem, not just in one or two aspects of their business.”

Sidhu added, “Our investment in building out the best crypto and digital asset team signals we are a serious participant in this space and committed to this business line for the long term. The corresponding increase in our share price since the launch of our Customers Bank Instant Token (CBITTM) is helping us drive and return value to our investors.”

Customers Bank recruited Robb Layfield as Managing Director, Digital Assets and Dan Devine as Senior Vice President, Digital Asset Product Development, along with five other digital asset bankers to round out the existing team and expand on the bank’s broad coverage of the crypto industry. This investment furthers the relationships with these clients, and the technology and payments team will help accelerate their success.
