Mendelson brings a wealth of experience, having previously served as President & CEO of Bank Leumi USA, where he led a major enterprise transformation until its merger with Valley National Bank in 2022. Following the merger, he became Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the consolidated bank. Earlier in his career, he was responsible for Group Strategy at Leumi Group, Israel’s largest banking group.

He succeeds Ziv Biron, who has served as President & CEO of IDB Bank for the past five years and spent a total of eight years within the Discount Group. Under Biron’s leadership, IDB reported strong financial performance in 2024, positioning the bank well for continued growth.

Avi Levi, President & CEO of Discount Group, stated:
“I congratulate Avner on joining Discount Group and his appointment as the President & CEO of IDB Bank. I am confident that his rich experience and professionalism, as well as his deep familiarity with the American market, will greatly contribute to the Bank’s continued momentum. I would like to thank Ziv Biron for the successful leadership of IDB Bank in recent years. These successes will serve as a solid foundation for the Bank’s future growth.”
