Andrew Neden has officially been appointed as Chair of the Board for Christian bank Kingdom Bank, succeeding David Swanney who had held the role for the past ten years.
Neden is a chartered accountant who has worked in a variety of different roles, including the Global Chief Operating Officer in Financial Services for KPMG. While joining the board in December 2023, he was formally appointed as Chair in March and uses his wealth of experience in the financial sector to play a key part in the governance of the bank.
He reflects: ‘Kingdom Bank combines its vision to grow gospel ministry with the commercial expertise to do so responsibly. It is a privilege to chair a board that is dedicated to advancing this mission – ensuring that every decision made safeguards the trust placed in us by both our depositors and borrowers.
‘As I’ve grown more involved, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see how the bank is enabling local churches to share the gospel. Whether through insurance, mortgages and or savings, Kingdom Bank has been instrumental in helping churches expand their reach. I’ve personally experienced this, as our own church benefited from a mortgage that provided housing for our assistant minister.
‘As we see more churches reaching out to us for help, we can give huge thanks to our Heavenly Father that we are in a position to provide it, and see His Kingdom grow.’
