Customer engagement remains a key priority for Ms Rebecchi, who regularly attends industry events to speak directly with customers about their experiences.
Her approach aligns with Cynergy Bank’s ‘Human Digital’ approach, which combines personal service with digital innovation.
Ms Rebecchi is also committed to building on the bank’s recent success and engaging all stakeholders to deliver on its promises.

She plans to support the bank’s growth in serving small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UK.
