Both men will report to Harry Samuel, head of Global Treasury Services.
Mr. Wilkinson is based in London and Mr. Hall-Reppen is based in Chicago.
Mr. Wilkinson was most recently with London-based ODL Securities Ltd. as chief operating officer and managed trading businesses across all asset classes at London-based Dresdner Kleinwort, Paris-based Fimat Banque and Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America Corp.
