Andrew Bloom, former CEO of Masthaven Bank, has joined the board of Fintern as a non-executive director.

Fintern seeks to make affordable credit available to the 15m people currently unserved by the incumbents.

Bloom (pictured) founded Masthaven Bank, and served as its CEO from 2015 to 2020.  Before founding Masthaven Bank, he founded Masthaven Finance (a secured lender) and served as its CEO from 2005 to 2015.

Dr. Michelle He, Fintern co-founder and COO, said: “It’s a great honour to have Andrew as our NED at an exciting time in our growth. Andrew will be of huge benefit to Fintern, bringing his excellent knowledge and experience of building and scaling a UK lending business.”

Bloom added: “I’m thrilled to be joining Fintern, it has a tremendously exciting business model with limitless potential. From the moment I met the founders I know this was a company that I wanted to be involved with and am delighted to not only be an early stage investor but also its first non-executive director.”
