1. Deb Geister
Senior Vice President, BSA Officer, Meta Payment Systems
DEB GEISTER oversees Meta’s team that detects and reports suspicious activities in the transaction data
of the organization and makes sure we comply with the Bank Secrecy and USA PATRIOT Act. In other
words, Deb is the leader of our so-called “crime fighters.” Before joining Meta, Deb served as the
Director of Fraud Prevention and Compliance Solutions as well as a Senior Director of Consulting
Services with LexisNexis Risk Solutions. She also sits on the Advisory Board for the Regulatory
Compliance Conference of the American Bankers Association and is a member of the Association of
Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS). A compliance veteran, Deb helped educate the
prepaid industry on effective practices in CIP (Customer Information Program) programs and
operationalizing policy. Although a major player in the prepaid industry in recent years, Deb gained
much of her experience in the more traditional banking space. Her experience includes helping
operationalize and effectively manage compliance and BSA programs with the top 25 financial
institutions in the country. Deb brings a well-rounded background to Meta. Early on, she discovered she
had a passion for communications and pursued a degree in communications from Southwest Minnesota
State University; she was even a DJ in High School. This passion also led her to volunteer at her
children’s school teaching visual media and video production. Deb and her husband have three children.
She enjoys camping, fishing, water skiing and cooking.
