Meridian Bank announced Hank Oberly has joined the team as Vice President Business Development. In this new role, he will be responsible for new business development and market growth – including equipment finance – in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.

A graduate of Denison University in Ohio, Oberly worked in finance and wealth management in the Philadelphia region for 16years. Prior to joining Meridian, Oberly spent eight and a half years in his previous role at Kershner Office Furniture in King of Prussia, PA.

“Hank brings a wealth of business development experience and a tremendous network to Meridian,” said Ed Carpoletti, Senior Vice President, Business Development. “With Hank’s experience, we will continue to provide best-in-class service to the business community in Greater Philadelphia.”

Oberly will operate out of Meridian’s corporate headquarters in Malvern, PA. Meridian’s specialties include a robust business banking platform, commercial and consumer real estate financing, residential mortgages, investment and wealth management services, retail banking, equipment financing and electronic payments processing.

As reported last year by Equipment Finance Advisor, Meridian Bank formed Meridian Equipment Finance, a subsidiary to provide equipment financing products and services to businesses nationwide.
