The Most Powerful Women in Banking

Four Oaks Fincorp in Four Oaks, N.C., has appointed Lisa Herring chief operating officer of the company and Four Oaks Bank & Trust.

Prime Meridian Holding in Tallahassee, Fla., has tapped a board member to serve as its new chief financial officer.

First United Corp. in Oakland, Md., has named Carissa Rodeheaver chairman and chief executive.

Citi adds two more female directors, including Ellen Costello; social media allows small banks to connect with people who aren't coming into the branch, says one of our community bankers of the year (and if you're on Twitter, you probably already know who), and Mary Wisniewski asks, how can fintech hope to disrupt banking when it's no different than banking? (Hard not to notice the sexism and the dearth of women when you are one.)

Citigroup has appointed Ellen Costello, former BMO Financial chief executive, and Intel President Renee James to its board.
