Members 1st Federal Credit Union is expanding its commercial services to support local businesses and economic development across its service area. To build on the strength of its existing business lending team, Members 1st recently welcomed four experienced financial professionals: Krista Blasser, Vice President, Senior Business Lending Officer; Jessica Gehman, Vice President, Commercial Lending Market Leader; Missy Hartman, Vice President, Senior Business Lending Officer; and Luke Walton, Vice President, Commercial Lending Market Leader.
Blasser joins Members 1st from Traditions Bank, where she served as Vice President, Senior Commercial Loan Officer. Gehman, Hartman and Walton most recently held commercial banking and relationship management positions at Burke & Herbert Bank (formerly LINKBANK). Their combined expertise spans commercial lending, business development and relationship management, along with deep knowledge of the Central Pennsylvania business community.
"As demand for commercial lending continues to grow, we're investing in the talent and expertise needed to help more businesses access the financial solutions that fuel growth," said Zak Tyminski, Chief Commercial Lending Officer. "By expanding our team’s leadership, we connect businesses with experienced advisors, responsive service and customized lending solutions. When businesses have the resources they need to expand, hire employees and pursue new opportunities, the impact extends far beyond the individual business and benefits the communities we serve."
These strategic additions reflect Members 1st's continued commitment to supporting businesses across Central Pennsylvania with the expertise, resources and local relationships needed to drive long-term success and strengthen the communities they call home.
