BCB Group, the leading provider of business accounts and trading services for the digital asset economy, is pleased to announce the appointment of Natasha Powell as Chief Compliance Officer. Natasha will lead the firm’s initiatives to fulfil the highest standards in financial services with regulatory risk management.
