Finding a Trusted Partner
Ask the Expert: Trends in Banking

by Staff
Joe Tredinnick serves as the market president for Fulton Bank, bringing more than three decades of banking and financial leadership experience to the role. We spoke with him to find out more about the importance of having a banking partner that keeps the best interests of your business as the focal point of a successful working relationship.
 
What advice would you give to a small business owner struggling to secure capital?
 
Start by building a relationship with a banker who takes the time to understand your business,
your goals and your unique challenges. A trusted banking partner can be instrumental in helping you navigate the financing landscape, identify the right capital solutions and connect you with valuable resources such as U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) programs or state-level options like New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) loans. Remember, access to capital isn’t just about numbers—it’s about relationships, preparation and having advocates who are invested in your growth.
 
How can a banking partner help you be a more competitive employer?
 
A strong banking partner can deliver meaningful value that supports your employees’ overall
well-being by offering financial wellness tools, education programs and customized solutions
designed to meet the needs of both you and your team. Think of your banker as a strategic
advisor who works alongside your accountant and attorney to help you navigate economic shifts, strengthen your employee value proposition and keep your business on the right path.
