Copper, a banking app startup that targets teens, has hired Chime executive Daniel Gonzalez as VP, customer experience and compliance for the company.

The hire follows a $4.3 million seed funding round as Copper, which has a waitlist of tens of thousands of teen users, gears up to move out of beta testing, according to a report in Finextra.

At Chime, Gonzalez was head of member services, helping to create a successful fintech that was worth more than $14 billion. At Copper he will lead the customer experience that connects parents and teens to an app and debit card to teach teens to make smart financial decisions.

"As the demographic focus shifts to teenagers, consumer behaviors, expectations and needs are changing, and the market landscape has evolved. Copper is ideally placed to capitalize on this disruption and to deliver real long-term benefits to a new generation of bank customers," Gonzalez said in the report.
