Board of directors

Good governance starts with our board of directors.  

The board oversees strategy, risk, governance, and executive performance to ensure the bank operates responsibly, ethically, and in shareholders’ best interests.

About our Board of Directors

We get the board composition and structure right by having well-informed people with diverse backgrounds, relevant experience, and independence from management.  

We gain from their expertise. Directors sit on committees that specialize in key areas: audit and conduct review, governance and nominating, human resources, and risk review.
