Brad Dyer jokes that the “big bucks” enticed him into a career in banking.

He was working in the sporting goods department at K’s Merchandise and went to cash his paycheck at American Savings Bank.

“They told me the starting pay was $3.75/hour, which was almost a 12% raise from my K’s job!” he recalls.

At the bank, he moved from teller to supervisor to assistant manager to branch manager – and enjoyed those roles as they combined meeting people, responsibility, accountability, and guiding customers and employees.

Today, Brad has spent 37 years in banking and is now INB’s mortgage sales manager for Central Illinois with the official title of Vice President, Residential Lending. In this role, Brad supports all mortgage lenders at INB with a focus on retention and growth across INB markets.

Native to Springfield, Brad continues to live in the area with his wife. Though his two children are grown now, he devoted time to coaching their sports teams while they were younger, and he has also been involved in Capital Area Realtors since 1998, serving on numerous committees and serving on the Board twice.

When not on the clock, he enjoys reading, playing cards and board games with family and friends, especially euchre with his daughter.

For Brad, the best part of his career has been helping customers.
