Switch will be a blockchain-based financial services ecosystem. The blockchain will be empowered by a global decentralized node network where node licensees will be rewarded with Switch Digital Rewards. Switch will offer debit payment solutions for both traditional and cryptocurrencies around the world.


In 1986, Roberts began her career at Discover Card as a "dawner," or early executive team member. She progressed through several executive positions, including VP of Operations, and was the company's first female Director of Field Operations based in Columbus, Ohio.


Roberts continued to excel at Discover, eventually rising to the position of President of Discover Bank from 2000 to 2006. During her tenure as President, Roberts became the first woman to chair the Delaware Banker's Association and achieved the FDIC's highest rating for Community Reinvestment Act. Roberts was also appointed as Business Council to the Delaware Bank Commissioner by the Governor of Delaware.




Switch Reward Card will be a blockchain-based financial services ecosystem that will offer debit payment solutions for both traditional and cryptocurrencies around the world. As CEO, Kathy Roberts hopes to transform how people engage with cryptocurrencies. And with over 20 years of experience in the consumer credit card industry, Roberts is no stranger to shaping how people interact with their money.


In addition to her professional endeavors, Roberts has also contributed significantly to numerous non-profits, including The History Makers, Village Drill/WHOLIVEs, The New Mexico Museum Foundation, and the Delaware Junior Achievement organization. She is also on the Board of Directors of several companies, including Galvan, a blockchain healthcare company.
