Secil brings a breath of relevant industry expertise, starting with his understanding of Grow's target audience from his previous experience at Capital One, where he managed Capital One's new-to-credit and thin-file segments and built expertise in reaching, underwriting, and serving customers lacking credit histories.

His most recent experience as GM at B2B platform FastPay, acquired by AvidXchange, will also be leveraged as Grow accelerates the expansion of its API across financial institutions, insurance, and subscription businesses.

Joe Bayen, Founder and CEO at Grow Credit, states, "Our Grow API business is growing at a spectacular pace, and we needed to add more B2B expertise to our leadership team. Secil's recent experience working at Fastpay and his background engaging with our target audience as GM at Green Dot and Capital One, combined with his desire to support underserved communities, made him an ideal fit to join our board."

Secil Baysal added, "I've focused a major part of my career leading firms with a financial inclusion focus. I've followed Joe and the Grow team for quite some time. They've developed a truly groundbreaking suite of products that are disrupting the industry while delivering much-needed support for the neediest members of our society." Secil added. " I am excited to join the board and contribute to the team's success by leveraging my industry background and expertise."

Secil will be joining board member Paco Rivera, AVP of Corporate Development at USAA, and a stellar group of advisors who have contributed to transforming Grow into a fast-growing groundbreaking financial inclusion platform, including Brian Hughes former CRO at Discover, Carl Tremblay, former Head of Growth at Plaid; Sudeep Arora, Former CRO at Barclays; Derek George, USAA Corporate Development and Grow Board Advisor; Dan Holt, Founder at BillGO, Mike DeLaet, Global Head of Digital Gaming at Mattel; James Veraldi CEO at Loop and former Head of Product Strategy at TikTok; and Daniel Eckert, a former Walmart executive.
