Equals Group plc, the e-banking and international payments group, is delighted to announce the appointment of Alan Hughes as Non-Executive Director with effect from 1 March 2020.

 

Alan, aged 68, is a highly experienced director with a speciality in fast-growth banks and fintech businesses.

In 2013 Alan led a consortium backed by Blackstone and AnaCap which bid for 312 Royal Bank of Scotland branches, in a deal worth approximately £1 billion.

 

Alan's previous roles include Non-Executive Director of New Day Group, one of the UK's largest private equity backed issuers of credit cards, and Chairman of Retail Money Market Limited, a leading peer-to-peer lending platform for retail investors. Until 2004, Alan was an Executive Board member and General Manager at HSBC Bank plc.

 

Alan is currently Non-Executive Chairman of Unity Trust Bank plc, an independent bank with a focus on social benefit, as well as Senior Independent Director and Deputy Chair of Hitachi Capital (UK) plc, a regulated personal finance company.

 

 

John Pearson, Non-Executive Chairman, commented:

 

 

"We are delighted that Alan is joining the Group as he brings not only a wealth of industry expertise but also extensive experience as a successful director of fintech businesses.
