“New technologies are enabling a fresh look at the home buying process, providing new opportunities to transform the customer experience,” said Salmon.
“RBS is a significant player in the market, and has real commitment to innovation,” he continued, “I am looking forward to working with the team, its partners and fintechs to take the business forward and continue to improve the experience for customers.”
Ian McLaughlin, managing director of specialist banking, said: “Our mortgage business has helped significant numbers of customers over the last few years.
“However, the market is always changing, and we need to ensure that we are at the forefront of developments if we are to provide customers with the best possible experience.
“With Dan’s appointment, we are significantly strengthening our innovation capabilities, and I am delighted to have someone with Dan’s track record join our team.”
