BanxCorp is a private company established in 1984. It operates a diversified portfolio of businesses started up and funded through its own internal resources.
Key People
The company's founder, owner and CEO is Norbert Mehl, a multi-lingual entrepreneur, financial services professional, realtor and publisher. He was born in Zurich, Switzerland and raised in Argentina, where he obtained an MBA degree from the University of Buenos Aires.
At a young age he started working closely with his father, the late Baruch Mehl, a highly respected self-made industrialist, community leader and philanthropist, who started his own prosperous business career as a trusted foreign exchange dealer in Frankfurt and Zurich, upon surviving World War II orphaned and penniless.

Among his earlier achievements, at the age of 25, Norbert was the co-managing partner of the VITUB-CONSTRUMETAL consortium that built a suspended steel and fiberglass skyroof for the 1978 World Cup stadium at the seaside casino resort of Mar Del Plata on the South Atlantic coastline, supervising a crew of over 500 people on- and off-site within a challenging nine-month deadline - the first such engineering feat ever attempted in Latin America. The project was officially declared of "National Interest" by the country's president. |
By 1995, a little over decade after emigrating to New York and founding BanxQuote, Norbert Mehl's reputation and credentials in the financial markets reached an important milestone when he organized a BanxQuote National Banking & Media Conference held at the New York headquarters of Salomon Brothers. The conference and multi-media event featured a series of forward-thinking roundtable discussions moderated by senior executives and editors of Bloomberg, Business Week, Dow Jones Telerate, Fortune, Knight-Ridder Financial, Reuters and Worth, with the participation of several Ivy League universities, government officials and top financial industry executives from ADP, American Express, Chemical Bank, Citicorp, Dean Witter Discover, EDS, Ernst & Young, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, Intuit, KPMG, LaSalle National Bank, MBNA, Mellon Bank, M&T Bank, Oppenheimer & Co., PaineWebber, Prudential Bank, Republic National Bank, Safra National Bank, State Bank of India, and many others.
As today's foremost provider of indexes and analytics that are used as a barometer of the U.S. banking, credit, mortgage and housing markets, Mr. Mehl and his firm have been frequently sought after and quoted by leading media, public policymakers and major financial institutions and corporations. Among his most notable recent professional achievements, a BanxQuote chart was featured by the White House in the "2008 Economic Report of the President," and by the U.S. Department of the Treasury at a May 2008 private presentation for leading Wall Street executives, entitled "The Administration's Housing Strategy and Economic Update."
Since 1989, Diana Mehl has been a senior management officer of the company, responsible for maintaining its high standards of quality and for the
development and launch of new products and services. More specifically she is the editorial director of the company's websites. She's a graduate of Barnard College and has an MBA from the Columbia University Graduate School of Business.
In 2004, capitalizing on their combined knowledge and contacts in the real estate, travel, hospitality, and luxury markets, the Mehls launched Panache Privée, intially in the form of a print and online magazine, which later evolved into a global interactive network for a super-affluent and discerning clientele, including their own in-house real estate brokerage and boutique travel service specializing in booking exclusive private villas and yacht charters around the world. Diana's passion for the arts, culture, philanthropy, home and garden, and her keen knowledge of the fashion, beauty, media, entertainment, and culinary industries have also been instrumental in the venture's success.
Core Values
BanxCorp's firmly established core values are deeply rooted in its founders' work ethics and European family traditions. These values constitute the bedrock underlying the company's reputation, guiding its activities, its personal and professional relationships, its perseverance and commitment to excellence, integrity and success.
The company stands by the motto that a man's word is his bond. Perhaps one of the most notable examples is a handshake deal made in 1985 between The Wall Street Journal and BanxQuote, a few months after the company was formed. As a result, the Journal featured a BanxQuote Money Markets table on a weekly basis for approximately 17 consecutive years, paying BanxQuote in the aggregate nearly $1 million in licensing fees.
