In this episode of The Bank Tellers, Money 20/20's VP of Fintech, Zach Anderson Pettet, sits down with Rodrigo Suarez, Chief Banking Officer of Piermont Bank, to explore the journey of one of the few de novo banks chartered in recent years. Rodrigo shares how Piermont’s focus on digital-first, non-traditional distribution channels—starting with embedded banking and fintech partnerships—has allowed them to carve out a unique space in the market. He highlights Piermont’s emphasis on speed, flexibility, creativity, and reliability, enabled by its clean slate as a new bank without legacy tech debt. It's a great conversation that explores how Piermont redefines relationship banking in a modern and forward-thinking context.
