Avenir Financial welcomes new Senior Commercial Loan Officer

YUMA, AZ (May 29, 2024) |

Avenir Financial has hired Travis Hice to serve as its Senior Commercial Loan Officer within their growing Business Services team. He has over 20 years of experience in banking and commercial lending.

"I am pleased to share with the community that Travis has joined our Avenir Financial Business Services team, said Cory Deter, Sr. Vice President and Chief Credit Officer. “Travis’s wealth of knowledge and familiarity with local business will be a great asset to our growing team. He is an outstanding addition.”

Hice holds a bachelor’s in business administration with an emphasis in management and finance from Northern Arizona University and a degree in bank management from Graduate School of Banking Colorado.

Born in Yuma and raised in Roll, Arizona, Hice grew up hauling hay and cotton with his father and grandfather and learned at a very young age that hard work and determination are the keys to success in any industry. He has passed that same philosophy on to his own children.

“I love being from a small town where it feels like home everywhere you go. People know you by name and share the same values you do,” stated Hice. “Working with hard working business owners to achieve their goals is my favorite part of what I do. Understanding their goals and direction and being able to assist them in accomplishing those goals is very rewarding. It is more than just a loan or account. Building strong and lasting relationships is the way banking should be done, and it is why I joined the Avenir Financial team.”
