Subject to regulatory approval, Mr Savins, who is currently the general manager, banking and wholesale at BNK and executive director of Better Choice, will fill the position on 17 December. He takes over from Brett Morgan, who is set to take over as CEO of MyState Bank next month.

Speaking of the appointment, BNK chairman, Don Koch said: Allan is a highly experienced finance industry professional who has distinguished himself in the sector for the past three decades.

“Since joining BNK during the merger with Finsure three years ago, Allan has made a significant contribution to the BNK Group as part of his role as General Manager, Banking & Wholesale.

He was also the Chairman of Finsure from launch to December 2015. We look forward to his ongoing contribution to BNK Group.”

Mr Savins said he was excited to be appointed interim CEO at BNK and relished the opportunity to take the company forward.
