Boyle (pictured) joins from Metro Bank, where he was chief transformation officer for almost three years. He also previously worked at Nationwide for nearly nine years, most recently as chief transformation officer and prior to that held roles at Portman Building Society, Visa Europe and Accenture.
Boyle will also join the board and executive committee, reporting to chief executive Jonathan Westhoff.
Westhoff said: “I’m delighted to welcome Martin Boyle to the board and executive team. He joins us at an exciting time and brings extensive transformation and operations experience, which will further strengthen our leadership team and support the delivery of our purpose-led strategy.”
Boyle added: “It’s great to be joining the West Brom at this time of exciting digital transformation. I’m looking forward to working with the team to drive forward the purpose-led agenda, developing and delivering products and services that continue to meet our members’ needs.”
In its half-year results for the six months to 30 September 2022, the West Brom reported that its new lending had risen by 12 per cent annually to £609m and its pre-tax profit had reached £18.1m, which was a 24 per cent increase on the same period a year before.
