Planning, Wealth and Asset Management, and Investment Firms.

Austin, TX, December 12, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Lamine Zarrad, CEO & co-founder of Joust, the nation's
only all-inclusive banking platform for freelancers and the self-employed, has been accepted into Forbes
Finance Council, an invitation-only community for executives in accounting, financial planning, wealth
and asset management, and investment firms.

Lamine was vetted and selected by a review committee based on the depth and diversity of his
experience. Criteria for acceptance include a track record of successfully impacting business growth
metrics, as well as personal and professional achievements and honors.

“We are honored to welcome Lamine into the community,” said Scott Gerber, founder of Forbes
Councils, the collective that includes Forbes Finance Council. “Our mission with Forbes Councils is to
bring together proven leaders from every industry, creating a curated, social capital-driven network that
helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world.”

As an accepted member of the Council, Lamine has access to a variety of exclusive opportunities
designed to help him reach peak professional influence. He will connect and collaborate with other
respected local leaders in a private forum. Lamine will also be invited to work with a professional
editorial team to share his expert insights in original business articles on Forbes.com, and to contribute to
published Q&A panels alongside other experts.

Finally, Lamine will benefit from exclusive access to vetted business service partners,
membership-branded marketing collateral, and the high-touch support of the Forbes Councils member
concierge team.

"I'm so excited to be a part of the Forbes Finance Council to help address the unique financial pain points
of freelancers and self-employed workers," said Lamine Zarrad co-founder and CEO of Joust. "These
workers are massively overlooked despite being more than one-third of the U.S. workforce. With this
number growing each day, I'm happy to provide my banking and financial expertise through such a
prestigious platform."
