You help them through the loan application process and make payment reminder calls when needed.

You handle a variety of tasks that contribute to the success of the branch, including evaluating loan applications, performing risk analysis, making credit decisions, administering loan closings, and processing insurance claims. Your management abilities shine as you assist the Branch Manager with recruiting and training as well as developing and implementing plans to meet sales goals while promoting our core values, and ensuring an outstanding customer experience.
