Jill Castilla, President and CEO at Citizens Bank of Edmond ($375M in Assets / Edmond, OK) is a Veteran, military mom and military spouse.  Besides her role as CEO at a flourishing community bank, she also is an entrepreneur at heart and saw a gap in the marketplace providing banking products and services to new enlistments in our military.

But how to go from idea to execution? This is where Jeffery Kendall, Chairman and CEO at Nymbus enters the story. Nymbus’ technology products and teams joined forces with Jill and her team to introduce Roger, a digital bank with a multifaceted mission. Among its crucial goals is to drive the growth of new deposits at Citizens Bank, a critical necessity within the market.
