Prepaid card company Green Dot announced yesterday it has appointed Mark Shifke as CFO.
Shifke had been interim CFO for the California-based company since May of 2015, when prior CFO Grace Wang began a new role as SVP of corporate finance and business intelligence.
During those eight months, Green Dot expanded its CFO search outside the company. However, after reviewing the applicants, as Green Dot CEO Steve Streit states, “it became clear that the best candidate was already serving in the role as our interim CFO.”
Before joining Green Dot in 2011, Shifke served as VP at Goldman Sachs and managing director at JP Morgan Chase.
Founded in 1999, Green Dot launched GoBank at FinovateSpring 2013. GoBank is a mobile-first bank that offers a debit card, bill pay, and access to 40,000 free ATMs. With no overdraft fees or minimum balance requirements, it targets the underbanked population.
