Northrim Bank adds a second Mat-Su location by opening Palmer Financial Center. Practically in the shadow of the town’s iconic water tower, the bank at 585 S. Valley Way offers advising and consulting, in addition to everyday financial services, that were previously a dozen miles away at the Northrim location in downtown Wasilla.
Location Twenty-One
“Opening our Palmer Financial Center represents an important next step in serving the people and businesses of the Mat-Su Valley,” says Northrim Bank President Mike Huston. “As our second location in the Valley and our twenty-first statewide, the Palmer Financial Center reflects our long-term commitment to Alaska and to the communities we’re proud to call home.”
The Palmer Financial Center is led by Lending Branch Manager Jose Anjulo, who has more than twenty years of banking experience, the last four with Northrim. Assistant Branch Manager Nikki Tandy has been with Northrim for twelve years and is a licensed insurance agent for Northrim Investment Services.
Ingrid St John joined Northrim in March as VP – Commercial Loan Officer for the Palmer Financial Center. She has more than twenty years of experience in lending, underwriting, credit analysis, and regulatory compliance.
The lobby and drive-up of the Palmer Financial Center are open Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
