biggest threat to human health but it also has the potential to become the

<span lang="EN-US">Expressing his concern about global warming

often said that the sins of developed economies, whose factories belched out
fossil fuels throughout the 20<sup>th</sup> century, are being visited on
emerging markets at the very point that they are experiencing stellar economic
growth for the first time. They are being required to decarbonise, just as
demand from a nascent, voracious middle-class is taking off. </span></div>

Steiner, Former Executive of the United Nations Environment Program said,
“Thailland advertises itself as a “sufficiency economy” and Bhutan talks of

these are national branding strategies which feed through to political
implementation” </span></div>

This is a critical project and we appreciate the support of our partners at the FHLB of Pittsburgh in approving our application for this investment in the Berks County community.” said Richard Ehst, President and COO Customers Bank.<br />
<br />
The Safe Haven project aims to rehabilitate the first three floors of a building that currently houses Hope Rescue Mission. Almost 117 shelter and transitional affordable housing units for very low-income residents will be preserved under this project, including long-term residents in a recovery program, and some who have progressed to employment. This project also aims to provide<br />
<br />
individuals with the emotional, educational, spiritual and economic tools they need for independence.<br />
“Homelessness is a problem that affects the entire community. Partners like Customers Bank help us provide critical programs and services to help homeless individuals find housing, employment and the help they need to get back on their feet. This is how we build thriving communities.” said Rob Turchi, Executive Director of Hope Rescue Mission.<br />
<br />
Providing food, clothing, and shelter to approximately 70 men on the daily basis, the work done under the Safe Haven Project is remarkable. Providing social services and programs to the low-income residents is also the part of this project.</div>

Founder and Executive Director of C&C Alpha Group, <a href="https://bhanuchoudhrie.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Bhanu Choudhrie</a> believes that continuous learning is essential to move forward in business life. Taking this idea forward, the young entrepreneur recently enrolled himself in Owner/President management program at Harvard Business to understand the dynamics of entrepreneurship and business in a better way. The management program consists of the three-week training module, which spans over the period of three years. <br />
<br />
“As a business leader, I need to be constantly learning. To help my business thrive and expand, I have to be responsive to the ever-changing nuances of the global economy and be familiar with case histories and insights that relate to my organization. This process began with my formal university education, and it continues with what I learn through the trials of the workplace. But that's not enough. So I was keen to find an executive business program that would match my schedule and my business needs as my operations expanded internationally. The Owner/President Management program was the perfect fit.” said Bhanu on his learning experience at OPM.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3xAZUZVnxpVXjwL7X-eg20Te1xw_H3kvjZcZsTyq8L_xY0jiA-ZDJBLD9n3sTR6lnEKx_GBhGxTsGrYDIDhhgr5zmLboTS_9LXvcGQYeaOsBMwLVuZsIWfVYTXx5Rs5-kx05nrCID_cU/s1600/Bhanu-Choudhrie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bhanu Choudhrie" border="0" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3xAZUZVnxpVXjwL7X-eg20Te1xw_H3kvjZcZsTyq8L_xY0jiA-ZDJBLD9n3sTR6lnEKx_GBhGxTsGrYDIDhhgr5zmLboTS_9LXvcGQYeaOsBMwLVuZsIWfVYTXx5Rs5-kx05nrCID_cU/s320/Bhanu-Choudhrie.jpg" title="" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Talking about the highlights of OPM, Bhanu said that he was highly fascinated by the intellectual fervor of the Harvard crowd. The diversity, intelligence, and eminence of his classmates kept him motivated and inspired him to do better in his classes. He also enjoyed Harvard’s famous case study method that helped him explore timely business quandaries and taught him how to come out with solutions in critical business situations.<br />
<br />
“There was plenty that was unexpected. The case study discussions disrupted my staid way of thinking and altered my view of even the most basic business facts. Looking back on my first week in the program, I recall thinking, "Did the other students read the same cases I did?" because their viewpoints were very different from mine. They saw the cases from the perspective of their own industries, their own governments, and their own professional circles. No matter how arcane the issue, there was no dearth of experience—and disagreement — to go around, especially when the full class of 125 got together.” said <a href="http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/article-1690283/Millionaire-Interview-Bhanu-Choudhrie.html" target="_blank">Bhanu Choudhrie</a> about his learning experience at this management program.</div>

Bhanu Choudhrie, director of London-headquartered private equity firm C&C Alpha Group, is well-known for making successful investments in the areas of healthcare, utilities, property, and agriculture globally. C&C Alpha Group has been able to tap markets in the US, Indian and South East Asian markets. Although the young entrepreneur belongs to a financially secure family, he had humble beginnings like most of us and has done unpaid jobs like serving as his father’s valet.<br />
“I worked during my university days in the library, which was unpaid. I also worked with my father as a boy in the garage maintaining his vintage cars. I am still waiting for the pay cheque for that one!” stated Bhanu Choudhrie telling about his first job.<br />
<br />
As a business, C&C Alpha Group wishes to invest in the successful enterprises around the globe. The equity firm looks for lucrative and carefully analyzed markets for investments. For instance property investment Megalith Capital Management, which is a New-York Based business, has been a lucrative investment for the firm.<br />

<br />
Talking about his smartest investment, <a href="https://twitter.com/bhanuchoudhrie" target="_blank">Bhanu Choudhrie</a> said, “I have enjoyed particular success in the US where I am a director of Customers Bank in Pennsylvania and the Atlantic Coast Financial Corporation in Florida. I made the investments because I could see an opportunity in the way American banking was changing. Customers, for instance, is aimed at millennials – we are pioneers of cutting-edge virtual banking.”<br />
<br />
An investment I made into Villa Azur Restaurant in Miami has also been a great personal success as the place has become so popular and enjoyed longevity in an ultra-competitive market place.”</div>

“The variety and scope of venture capitalism is the real attraction so one day you can be closing on a new hospitality investment and the next talking about a new piece of aircraft simulation kit. You have to be well versed in an array of often specialist markets which keeps you on your toes.

"...BankMobile offered a mobile banking app that provided basic bank accounts for real people: Checking, Savings, Personal Loan and financial education. The whole banking experience from opening an account to setting up bill pay can be done with the app. The technology they put together with their partners is far superior to that of biggest five banks in the U.S. As I write this in June 2016, my view has not changed, and the app has only improved to include more than basic banking. They now provide an easy to use advanced money management platform which gives the BankMobile customer the tools to manage and improve their financial lives. The story behind the creation of BankMobile is fascinating. It details how the banking system, in general, is broken and why the US needs bank services that are truly customer focused." - David Gerbino, FinTech, Bank and Data-Driven Marketing Consultant, DMG Consulting.<br />

‘Why Can't Banks Be as Easy as Uber?: BankMobile and The Real Future of Banking,’ co-authored by father-daughter team Jay and Luvleen Sidhu, has been well received and jumped up to number one as International Best Seller on Amazon. It has also been greeted with acclaim across USA, Australia and Germany Amazon stores in less than 24 hours. The success also put the authors in Amazon’s Top 100 Authors list in the category of Business and Money.<br />
<br />
The Sidhu’s are renowned, having founded BankMobile, which seeks to revolutionise American banking. Luvleen Sidhu’s management got her placed among Bank Innovation’s top 10 “Innovators to Watch” worldwide. BankMobile’s executive team also had a good week as they successfully conducted the Investor Day at the Harvard Club in New York.<br />
<br />
BankMobile is just over a year old but has already made lives easy for millennials and college students. Through this book, the authors hope to spread awareness about how the traditional banking system leads to billions of dollars being lost. It explains in detail how BankMobile is dedicated to change that fact.<br />
<br />
"What a compelling book! The banking revolution that the Sidhus are proposing is sure to make banking easier -- and you happier." - reviewed Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD, New York Times Bestselling Author of Happier.<br />
<br />
"...BankMobile offered a mobile banking app that provided basic bank accounts for real people: Checking, Savings, Personal Loan and financial education. The whole banking experience from opening an account to setting up bill pay can be done with the app. The technology they put together with their partners is far superior to that of biggest five banks in the U.S. As I write this in June 2016, my view has not changed, and the app has only improved to include more than basic banking. They now provide an easy to use advanced money management platform which gives the BankMobile customer the tools to manage and improve their financial lives. The story behind the creation of BankMobile is fascinating. It details how the banking system, in general, is broken and why the US needs bank services that are truly customer focused." - David Gerbino, FinTech, Bank and Data-Driven Marketing Consultant, DMG Consulting.<br />

Luvleen Sidhu named among Bank Innovation’s Top 10 “Innovators to Watch” <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
BankMobile, which provides an absolutely fee-free, digital banking experience, revealed that Luvleen Sidhu, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, was named one of Bank Innovation's top 10 "Innovators to Watch" worldwide. Sidhu ranked number 9 out of 44 innovators on the 2016 list. That’s a staggering rise from last year’s rank 28.<br />

<br />
"I am delighted to be recognized once again by Bank Innovation for this prestigious list and congratulate my fellow honorees," said Sidhu. "Just this month, we became the largest mobile-first bank in the country with over two million customers, and we look forward to continuing to disrupt the industry. We will always be driven by our mission to help customers achieve financial freedom through our seamless digital banking experience, and look forward to continuing to grow our brand."<br />

<br />
The list was chosen by Diana Asatryan, Associate Editor at Bank Innovation. Asatryan states: "In the FI vs tech game, BankMobile can proudly claim to successfully straddle both worlds. Led by Chief Strategy Officer (and millennial) Luvleen Sidhu, the branchless bank aims to win over millennials with Facebook contests, a lifestyle blog, campus trips, and frequent focus groups (comprised of millennials, of course). The strategy seems to be working: BankMobile has just announced of a two-million-customer milestone in less than two years since the official launch.<br />
<br />
'My mission here was to create a new standard for banking. We had to really change the model upside down, and deliver a 'wow' experience,' Sidhu told Bank Innovation previously."<br />
<br />
Luvleen manages the bank with her father Jay Sidhu, and both of them led BankMobile to 2 million customers in June 2016. It means that BankMobile will rank among the top 25 banks in the country in terms of number of consumer checking accounts. In just 18 months, BankMobile has made excellent innovations such as launching a VIP experience, launched the their app on Apple Watch, being one of the first few banks to do so, rolled out BankMobilist College Brand Ambassador Program, established BankMobile Technologies, launched BMpowered Radio with Ash Cash that features podcasts twice a week, and awarded the first of its Foundation's inaugural Financial Literacy Scholarship.<br />
