Lender Details

In her role as a SVP of Commercial Lending, Andrea Taegtmeyer enjoys getting to know people from all walks of life. "I have so many different customers and they are all unique in their own way.   I enjoy getting to know them and learning more about their lives", she stated. "One of my frequent customers told me that I was one of the most important people in their life. That lets me know that I am taking care of my customers". 

Andrea and the team at First Financial Bank work hard to meet their customers' needs, and she credits a strong team environment for helping things go smoothly. "Everyone is hard-working and has an important role in the process", she said. Many of her customers are involved in agriculture, an industry in which she has considerable knowledge, having worked for the USDA's Farm Service Agency for 15 years. 

When she's not helping customers, Andrea can be found helping in her community. She's a lifelong resident of Cross County, the secretary for Downtown Revitalization, serves on the Cross County Chamber board, and was the past president of the local Rotary Club. She volunteers frequently with them. Individually, she does a "Bus Stop" snack program on Friday afternoons, handing out snacks to kids in a low-income neighborhood as they get off the bus. She enjoys spending time with her family, deer hunting, fishing, and going to the lake.   When asked what three words people would use to describe her, Andrea said, "dedicated, efficient, and knowledgeable."
