"We're excited to have Jay join us. His expertise across so many areas of banking and the markets that we serve will help us continue to improve our customer experience and grow the business," said Howard Hammond, head of the Consumer Bank for Fifth Third. "Jay brings a deep understanding of our communities and a commitment to our purpose."

Plum will play a leadership role in the Bank's digital mortgage initiative. In fall of 2020, Fifth Third partnered with Blend to offer a simple, seamless online home financing experience. Now, more than nine out of 10 mortgage applications are submitted digitally. Since launching the new digital experience, the average customer satisfaction score has increased while the average time to fund a loan has decreased.

The Bank is working to digitize even more parts of the overall homebuying experience, giving customers control, choice and transparency along the journey. The solution also enables them at any given point to collaborate with one of our mortgage loan originators.

"I'm excited to join a bank committed to serving its community and delivering a best-in-class homebuying experience," Plum said.

Plum, who has decades of experience in banking, most recently served in consumer finance leadership roles, where he was responsible for mortgage, consumer, direct and credit card lending. Plum earned his bachelor's degree from Colgate University and his master's in business administration from the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University.
