Mike Currie has led Move Bank, the Brisbane based customer owned bank founded in 1968 as Railways Credit Union, since March 2023, following senior roles at QBANK, Heritage Bank and Commonwealth Bank.

Macgregor Duncan co-founded Constantinople in 2022 after serving as Chief Development Officer at Westpac, where he helped launch its digital bank. His earlier career spans Goldman Sachs, private equity in New York.
