Senior Commercial Relationship Manager

Julie Olson

Hi, I'm Julie. Coming to you with nearly 25 years of financial institution experience and as a native to Upper Michigan, I promise to craft and offer a dynamic solution to help you reach your business goals. I thoroughly enjoy developing a deep understanding of my client's financial position and working with them to provide local funding. In my free time, you can find me biking, taking long walks with my dog, and spending time with my family.  

Commercial Relationship Manager

Nick Kreis

Hi, I'm Nick. I work with members by listening and learning, then plan and propose how to achieve their business goals. The power of locally funded loans, decisions, and service allow me to deliver an unmatched experience. I take pride in tailoring each relationship to fit the member's needs and eliminate any "cookie-cutter" approach, as no two businesses or business owners are alike.
