Citizens Bank of Edmond CEO Jill Castilla’s latest venture combines two key elements of her professional life: financial services and the military.
For the past several years, the bank executive and military veteran has been building a national digital bank that aims to address some of the banking pain points that Castilla herself encountered when she enlisted in the Army at 19.
“There’s still this deficiency in the market where there’s not a focus on that new servicemember coming in,” Castilla said. “They’re very targeted from a predatory lending standpoint.”
