Centier Bank Welcomes Andy Steffel to Carmel Business Banking Team

Michael E. Schrage, President and CEO of Centier Bank, earlier this week welcomed Andy Steffel as Vice President, Business Banker, based in the bank’s Carmel office, located at 568 E. Carmel Dr.

Steffel joins Centier after spending 14 years working in roles like portfolio manager as well as a relationship manager on the commercial lending team at a regional financial institution. He looks forward to using his experience to better serve clients with commercial loans and new construction financing.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate said he was drawn to Centier because of its commitment to Indiana to remain independent and family owned for generations to come. 

“I’m looking forward to growing the Centier brand and business banking portfolio in Central Indiana by providing excellent service and building and maintaining strong, lasting relationships with clients,” he explained.

Ben Jefferis, Commercial Real Estate Group Manager at Centier Bank, knows Steffel will work hard to enrich clients’ lives through financial guidance.

“Andy fits right into Centier’s relationship-style banking philosophy,” Jefferis said. “He’s knowledgeable and experienced and is able to work with clients on the best programs to fit their needs.”

Steffel serves as treasurer on the Board of Directors for FACE Low-Cost Animal Clinic, a non-profit that provides affordable spay/neuter and other veterinary services in the Indianapolis area with a mission to reduce euthanasia rates and overpopulation of dogs and cats in city shelters. He resides in Carmel with his wife, Katie.
