Acadia FCU is pleased to announce that Jarod McBreairty is the newest loan officer at its Madawaska branch. McBreairty brings 16 years of banking, lending, and leadership experience to the credit union. He will assist members with their consumer lending needs while viewing, analyzing, and approving both consumer and real estate loans.
“I love the one-on-one interactions I have with our members, helping me develop a personal relationship with them,” said McBreairty. “It’s such a big change from working for large, corporate banks. I am part of some big events in our members’ lives, like their first home or first car—that is very fulfilling.”
After graduating from the University of Southern Maine in 2004, McBreairty spent the following 15 years at three southern Maine branches of Bank of America. During his time there, he gained experience in credit, marketing, collections, sales, payroll, analytics, and compliance. He spent one year with TD Bank in the Performance and Integrity Group before joining the team at Acadia FCU in late 2020.
“We’re very excited to have Jarod on our lending team at the Madawaska branch,” said Julie Hayes, Madawaska Branch Manager. “He brings a wealth of knowledge from his past work in financial services and is eager to serve our members. Jarod has acclimated quickly because of his strong understanding of credit and the basics of lending. During the pandemic and increased reliance on our many remote services, his technical skills have propelled him to hit the ground running.”
A native of Allagash, McBreairty currently divides his time between Fort Kent and Allagash. His pastimes include disc golf, snowboarding, bird hunting, and travel.
