He knows how to build on that foundation and lead us through the next phase of growth." With more than 20 years of experience across digital banking, fintech, and financial services, Thompson has a proven track record of driving growth, launching new products, and building inclusive financial strategies. His work in mobile banking, general purpose reloadable (GPR) cards, and banking-as-a-service has focused on increasing access for cash-preferred consumers, making him well-suited to help lead Coinstar's evolution from coin-counting to full-service financial solutions. "Coinstar has the infrastructure and trust to do something very few companies can, bridge the gap between physical currency and the digital economy at scale," said Brandon Thompson, CCO at Coinstar. "This is about more than just converting coins and cash. It's about giving people real access to tools they can use to spend, save, and manage money however and wherever they want. We're starting with the U.S., but the opportunity is global." Coinstar's digital wallet, CINQ by Coinstar™, launched in 2024 and gives consumers a simple way to digitize physical currency in minutes. The company's next wave of product innovation in late 2025 will expand its ability to support customers' financial needs beyond the kiosk. Before joining Coinstar, Thompson served as executive vice president at Green Dot Corporation, where he led product, marketing, and commercial strategy across prepaid and mobile financial services. He also held senior executive roles at Netspend and EML, helping to scale product portfolios that gave millions of cash-reliant consumers access to digital tools.
