Andrew Merz

I am a community focused business banker because I enjoy helping companies achieve their goals. It is incredibly rewarding to help a business owner solve their banking and financing problems, and I get added enjoyment knowing that the business is local instead of an out-of-state HQ big box company or online retailer. The greatest reward is witnessing the entrepreneurial pride when a company I work with sees success. The pride and excitement a business owner has for the company they built is infectious. Every success motivates me for the next client success.

I am experienced providing exemplary service to clients with a variety of customized banking solutions – commercial, small business, C&I lending, financial analysis, commercial real estate, equipment loans, and other asset based lending. I also have significant SBA experience (Express, 7(a), and 504). Understanding a customer’s business as well as their goals (personal and professional) allows me to provide solutions as well as an alternate perspective that enable business owners’ to succeed and grow. I ask questions to develop understanding, communicate options and next steps, and I deliver what I say I will deliver keeping clients informed every step of the way. I have over a decade of experience working with business owners.
