  "account": "Munich - Marc Heß, a seasoned banking manager, has been appointed as the new finance chief of digital bank N26. The supervisory board announced the 53-year-old's appointment to replace Arnd Schwierholz, who stepped down at the end of August. N26 reported the news in Berlin on Monday. Heß previously served as finance director of Wiesbaden-based real estate financier Aareal Bank from 2018 to 2024, taking advantage of Aareal's takeover by financial investors to leave his post. Before that, Heß held the position of finance director at Deutsche Postbank for eleven years. N26's supervisory board chairman, Andreas Dombret, stated that the company's board is now fully staffed with the appointment of Heß. N26 has been in a standoff with Germany's banking regulator, the BaFin, and has seen several changes in its board and supervisory board in recent times. Dombret said that Heß's extensive expertise will contribute to N26's success in the future, making the company even stronger.",
