Federated Bank is expanding its presence in central Illinois by adding new leadership at its Bradley branch.

The bank has announced the hiring of Jasmine Strohm as Assistant Vice President, Mortgage Loan Officer, and Branch Manager. Officials say the move reflects an ongoing effort to grow lending services and strengthen community relationships in the region.

Strohm brings more than a decade of experience in banking and lending. Her background includes mortgage origination, branch management, and working directly with borrowers through every stage of the loan process from application to closing.

Before joining Federated Bank, Strohm served as a loan officer at Municipal Trust and Savings Bank in Bourbonnais. There, she worked in both residential and commercial lending, helping to improve internal loan processes while mentoring staff.

She also previously held positions with U.S. Bank and TCF Bank, where she gained experience in branch operations, compliance, and team leadership.

In her new role, Strohm will oversee daily operations at the Bradley branch while continuing to assist customers with mortgage and lending needs. Bank leaders say she will also focus on building local partnerships and supporting the financial goals of individuals and businesses.

In a statement, company leadership highlighted Strohm’s experience guiding borrowers through complex loan scenarios and her ability to build strong customer relationships.

Strohm says she’s looking forward to leading the Bradley branch and helping customers navigate important financial decisions while supporting community growth.
