The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) helps business owners and entrepreneurs pursue the American dream, and First Internet Bank is proud to work as an active SBA partner, continuing to support small businesses nationwide. From the tiniest spark may burst a mighty flame, after all, and we have long embodied this sentiment within our own walls and have spread that spirit across the country, providing access to capital for entrepreneurial ventures.
With more than 20 years of combined SBA experience, First Internet Bank’s Eve Wilkerson and Mike Castle share deep expertise in the SBA process, as well as a passion for seeing those customers grow. “Not only do I love my customers, I love what I do,” said Wilkerson. “It’s truly a thrill to be an integral part of my clients’ journeys.” As Vice President, Senior Business Development Officer, Wilkerson helps shepherd small businesses through the intricacies of SBA procedures by helping them avoid potential pitfalls in the lending process and allowing them, instead, to focus on the entrepreneurial side of their business. Castle, Assistant Vice President, SBA Special Assets Manager, is highly experienced in supporting customers throughout the life of their loans. “It’s rewarding to find ways to help smooth the roads for our clients as they continue to grow,” said Castle. “And, to be a part of such a talented SBA team at First Internet Bank really keeps me energized at work.”
Today, First Internet Bank enjoys Preferred Lender Status with the SBA, which allows decision-making ability to remain at the bank, expediting and streamlining the lending process. By coupling that distinction with our passion to create effective financial solutions, we are perfectly positioned to help small businesses light a spark where their imaginations can burn brightly.
