Ted Bents

Helping customers succeed for the long road ahead is what has kept Ted motivated in his more than 25 years in banking. Ted didn’t always see himself in banking. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in political science and playing football in Europe, he landed back in the States and fell right into banking.

Co-workers describe Ted as driven to get the job done, customer-focused and a strong communicator. A colleague shared, “Ted goes above and beyond, completing closings in person, even at 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon.” As Vice President of Mortgage Lending, Ted is responsible for assisting clients through sometimes stressful situations, such as an initial mortgage falling through, debt consolidation, and construction loans. He finds each day to be a new chance to make a difference in his clients’ lives.

What sets Ted apart from many other bankers is his well-established referral network, which grows each year and not only helps him succeed but also his clients and the bank. In the end, that’s what matters most to Ted.

Family-oriented, Ted spends his time outside of work with his wife and three grown children, fishing, golfing, biking and playing pickle ball. He is also as involved in his local community as possible, having served on numerous boards and committees over the years.
