Credit Suisse Group (NYSE: CS) has announced that Erin Callan will be joining the bank as a Managing Director and Head of its Global Hedge Fund Business in a newly created position based in New York. Her effective employment date is September 2, 2008.

Ms. Callan is the recently deposed CFO of Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH), who many feel got a bad shaft upon her termination. She will join the Investment Bank Management Committee and the Global Client Steering Committee.

Callan will spearhead Credit Suisse’s strategic advisory and coverage efforts serving the hedge fund community where she will partner and coordinate closely with the businesses that support the Bank’s hedge fund clients, including Prime Services, the Financial Institutions Group and Global Markets Solutions Group.

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
