Coenraad Jonker (Coen) is the Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Tyme, a digital banking group operating in Africa and Asia. Tyme launched its flagship bank, TymeBank, in South Africa in 2019 and has since grown to over 10 million customers making it one of the fastest-growing neobanks worldwide. Tyme launched its second bank, GoTyme Bank, in the Philippines in 2022 and has hit 5 million customers this month.
 
Coen began his career with Edward Nathan Corporate Law Advisers (now ENS) in 1996 and became its CEO in 2000. In that year, he also joined the Nedcor Investment Bank executive committee.
 
In 2005, he left legal practice to join Standard Bank as Director of Community Banking. There he led a strategy to extend banking to underserved consumers, adding digital channels and more than a million additional customers to the bank. In 2011, he moved to Deloitte as a Partner in the strategy and innovation practice.
 
In June 2012, Tyme was spun out of Deloitte as a new venture. The business was acquired by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) in January 2015, after which Coen moved to Hong Kong to lead CBA’s digital initiatives across Asia. In 2017 he was appointed Group Executive at CBA, responsible for its international retail banking and insurance business. At the end of 2018 Coen partnered with African Rainbow Capital (ARC) to buy the Tyme business from CBA.
 
He holds an MBA from GIBS and two law degrees with honours. He has held multiple Board positions, including Vietnam International Bank (VIB) and PT Bank Commonwealth in Indonesia, which he chaired until December 2018.
