Experienced Fintech Executive Ian Gass Named
Chief Product Officer for Marygold & Co. (UK)
The Marygold Companies, Inc. (“TMC,” or the “Company”) [NYSE
American: MGLD], a diversified global holding firm, today announced
that it has appointed experienced fintech executive Ian Gass as
Chief Product Officer in the UK, a newly created position,
effective immediately. The Company plans to launch its mobile
banking and financial services app in the UK in 2024 through its
Marygold & Co. (UK) subsidiary, following last month’s formal
product launch by Marygold & Co. in the United States.
The app is an all-in-one banking and payment services app
offering FDIC-insured accounts through its banking partner with a
Debit Mastercard®. It is like having a private banker on a cell
phone and having a secure way to send, receive, spend, save and
invest with no banking fees or minimum balance requirements.
Features include contactless payment options utilizing technology
that allows touch-free tap-to-pay transactions with a Marygold
Debit Mastercard®; the capability for unlimited, customized,
individual savings accounts called Money Pools to help investors
reach their financial goals; and PayAnyone™ capability, which
authorizes users to send payments to anyone.
Gass, who assumes responsibility to oversee final development of
the app for the UK market, brings extensive experience in the
fintech and financial services sector. Most recently, he co-founded
an open banking fintech business supporting digital payments in the
UK. He previously held senior management positions at Goldman Sachs
and Bank of New York Mellon.
“Ian is a perfect fit for the position, bringing extensive
hands-on product, operations, and business development experience,”
said Nicholas Gerber, TMC’s Chief Executive Officer. “He has an
outstanding track record launching, scaling and managing technology
businesses targeting B2B and B2C users. We welcome him to the
Marygold family.”
Marygold & Co. (UK), under the leadership of Matthew Parden
as CEO, was formed in 2021 as a holding company and wholly owned
subsidiary of TMC to make acquisitions in the UK. In 2022, it
completed the first transaction with the acquisition of Tiger
Financial & Asset Management Limited, a UK-based investment
adviser, which enabled Marygold to gain a regulatory license and a
long-term base of advisory clients. Marygold & Co. (UK) intends
to provide multi-channel services to its existing and new clients
through both its traditional business and through the new fintech
app.
