Talking about his smartest investment, Bhanu Choudhrie 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.”
