He joins Chairman John Mack, Vice Chairman John Sculley, James Held, Seth Johnson, Kevin Knight and Chad Swensen on the Lantern Board.

Gomez-Acebo has more than 30 years of experience in the Spanish and International Retail Banking sector, holding various executive roles at Spanish banks Banesto and Banco Santander including General Manager of Europe for Banesto. Gomez-Acebo led business development with strategic financial partners at Banco Santander and most recently is heading risk management for the bank.

Lantern Credit’s white label platform for financial institutions draws personal financial data including credit data, account information and personal goals to provide customers with real-time information to make informed choices designed to improve their financial wellness. Financial Institutions utilizing the Lantern Interactive Credit Report™ will benefit from having more engaged consumers and will be better equipped to provide relevant offers to those consumers. Instead of the traditional static credit report, Lantern’s Interactive Credit Report delivers access to a free credit report and score and enables consumers to model the effects of financial actions, receive and accept offers directly from lenders and make payments on existing accounts.

“Consumer credit is a difficult industry to navigate, particularly in markets that do not yet have a strong consumer credit infrastructure and Lantern Credit is breaking ground by building advanced technologies that financial institutions provide to their customers in order to benefit the entire market,” said Ricardo Gomez-Acebo, board member of Lantern Credit. “I’m looking forward to contributing to Lantern Credit’s strategic initiatives in the U.S. and globally.”
