SBA business development officer brings 18 years of experience

GREENVILLE, SC – United Community Bank welcomes experienced banker Logan Bagley to its Specialized Lending Team as Vice President, SBA Business Development Officer. Bagley will be based in the bank’s Greenville, S.C., office but will serve customers throughout northern Georgia, western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.

“We are pleased to have Logan join our team to focus on small business loans,” said Richard Bradshaw, President of Specialized Lending at United Community Bank. “Logan is a skilled business development officer with a strong history of success in small business lending. She is truly an asset to our team and to the customers we serve.”

Prior to joining United Community Bank, Bagley served as Vice President, Business Development Officer at CertusBank in Greenville. She previously held the same title at BCI Lending, a Columbia, S.C.-based SBA lender that United Community Bank acquired in June in a strategic move to expand its specialized lending division. In Bagley’s 18-year career, she has also held similar roles as a Business Development Officer for several financial institutions, including Wachovia Small Business Capital, Temecula Valley Bank and Business Loan Express/Allied Capital Express in Greenville.

“I am thrilled to accept this new role with United Community Bank,” said Bagley. “I am fortunate to be joining many former colleagues from BCI Lending as well as the bank’s well-respected local team of bankers. I enjoy working with my customers to help them find the best solutions for their needs, and I am confident United Community Bank is the best place to do that.”

Bagley earned her bachelor’s degree from Clemson University. She serves on the Greenville New Market Opportunities Advisory Committee, which analyzes prospective recipients of New Markets Tax Credits.

Bagley and her husband, Scott, live in Greenville. Together, they have three adult children.
