Financial Services

Santander Bank Corporate Office

Santander Bank can trace its roots back more than 100 years to 1902 when it was founded as Sovereign Bank in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. Going back even further, Banco Santander was founded in Spain in 1857. During the 1920’s Santander began rapidly expanding, starting branches in the US. In June 2006, Sovereign Bank acquired Santander and decided to rename the company, Santander.

The company had annual revenue in 2013 of $3.345 billion and employed almost 10,000 persons in the US.

In 2011, Santander moved its headquarters from Wyomissing, Pennslyvania, to Boston, Massachusetts. All branches, including international branches, formerly named Sovereign Bank, were rebranded by the end of 2013.

The bank offers an array of financial services and products including retail banking, home mortgages, corporate banking, credit cards, cash management, insurance, and trust and wealth management services.

In March 2015, Scott Powell was appointed to be the head of U.S. business at Santander, and CEO of Santander Holdings USA, replacing Roman Blanco.

In December 2018, Santander named David Harnisch to be the head of their commercial banking division.

The Bancorp Corporate Office

(Not to be confused with U.S. Bancorp/US Bank)

Founded in 1999 by Betsey Z. Cohen, The Bancorp can trace it roots back to 1974, when Cohen founded Jefferson Bank in Philadelphia and served as chairman and CEO of the bank and its holding company, JeffBanks Inc. In 1999, she sold the $1.8 billion asset company for over $370 million.

Later that same year, Cohen founded The Bancorp, a virtual bank providing services to small and mid-size businesses and the Greater Philadelphia market area through its community bank. The bank offered private-label affinity group programs for organizations and institutions, including merchant card servicing. Today, The Bancorp is a bank holding company. The Bank offers services including interest-bearing checking accounts, a full line of loan products, and online bill payment. Bancorp operates in the States of Delaware and Pennsylvania.

The company is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: TBBK.

Founder Betsey Z. Cohen retired in 2014. The Bancorp has been dealing with regulatory issues, as the FDIC hit it with a consent order in June connected to its anti-money laundering compliance.

In May 2018, the company was fined $2 million by the FDIC for charging excessive prepaid card fees.

Headquarters for The Bancorp remain in Wilmington, Delaware.

GoFundMe Corporate Office

GoFundMe was founded in 2010 by Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester. Originally called CreateaFund in 2008, the pair changed the name in 2010 after making numerous updates and changes to the site.

The company is a for-profit, crowdfunding platform, where people list a need or want, along with the dollar amount they wish to raise, and others can donate to their cause. Since its inception, the company has raised more than $5 billion for more than 2 million campaigns.

One of the stars of the television show Gilligan’s Island, Dawn Wells, recently accepted nearly $200,000 in a GoFundMe account started in her name to help her pay for medical bills.

GoFundMe originally charged a 5% fee, taken from the money donated, however, in 2017, the company said that it will now accept donations or “tips” from people who are donating, so the recipient can receive the entire amount.

Although medical problems top the GoFundMe list, due to the coronavirus crisis and quarantine, there have been multiple requests ranging from an ice cream shop employee in Mashpee, Massachusetts, who quit after being verbally abused by customers upset by a long wait, to a Utah mother who lost her daughters in a flash flood, to a Dallas hair salon owner who was jailed for not respecting the quarantine.

In January 2022, a group called Freedom Convoy 2022, collected funds to protest Canada’s requirement of vaccination against Covid for cross-border truck drivers. The company shut down the account, which had reached $10 million in donations, saying that it was not a verified charity and that GoFundMe would refund all donations within 10 days.

GoFundMe was founded in San Diego, later noting a PO Box in Redwood City, California, only as their “corporate office address.”

Credible.Com Corporate Office

Credible.Com was founded in 2012 by Stephen Dash. The company operates a loan marketplace where people can search for the best rates from a list of banks and other lending institutions offering loans or refinancing of student loans.

Businesswire found that 9 out of 10 Americans don’t understand the terms of the student loans that they receive. Credible is attempting to help clients find the best possible refinance rates on current student loans, as well as finding the best rate for those seeking personal loans.

There is no charge for clients (borrowers) as lenders pay a small fee to Credible for using their platform.

In 2015, the company received seed funding of $2.7 million.

Headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.

TimeShare Exit Team Corporate Office

Timeshare Exit Team was founded in 2012 by current CEO Brandon Reed. After finding himself with two timeshares that he rarely had time to visit that had ever increasing maintenance fees, Reed decided to find a way to get out of his contract, without actually breaking it or selling it.

The company states that they are a consumer protection agency and that they do not buy or sell timeshares, but rather, they have proven “strategies” to get you out of your contract. Most people pay (on average) $5,000 for this service, which is basically giving the timeshare back to the resort.

The Better Business Bureau gives TimeShare Exit Team an A+ rating, as they have far more compliments than complaints. The company offers free consultations and can give you a better estimate of what your chances are for breaking your contract, depending on the company and which timeshare you want to offload. Commercials that feature young couples and older retirees are shown on popular prime time shows.

Welk Resorts filed a lawsuit against the company in July of 2017 claiming that TimeShare Exit Team used false advertising, fraudulent guarantees and misleading correspondence to recruit vacation owners in a nationwide scheme based on the false promise of getting owners out of their timeshare contracts with no consequences. TimeShare Exit Team has stated that the lawsuit was without merit and that they had plans to vigorously defend themselves in court.

The company does have a money back guarantee and they will tell you upfront that it takes anywhere between 8 months to 2 years to get results.

TimeShare Exit Team has headquarters in Lynnwood, Washington.
