Access National Bank promoted Roland St. Clair-Barrie to vice president on its Commercial Lending team.

In his expanded role, St. Clair-Barrie will contribute to the bank’s portfolio growth through commercial and industrial financing, asset-based lending (primarily to government contractors) and commercial real estate transactions, serving small- to middle-market businesses with $1 million to $200 million in annual revenue.

“Access National Bank has proven its commitment to our clients through accessibility, knowledge of the local economic environment, and agility in responding to their needs,” said St. Clair-Barrie. “I am proud to continue serving our diverse clientele and continue building more long-term business relationships with the professionals in our expanding footprint.”

St. Clair-Barrie joined Access in November 2016 as assistant vice president in its Commercial Lending team. Prior to becoming a lender, he worked as a commercial underwriting analyst and bank officer, supporting the credit, risk management, regulatory, and distribution functions of commercial customers.

“Roly approaches every current and prospective client with the goal of creating immediate value through his vast market knowledge and ability to provide full-service financial solutions,” said David Talebian, executive vice president and group manager at Access. “He is a client-focused banker and we look forward to his continued success as we continue to grow.”
