Newburyport Bank is pleased to welcome Brandon Belanger as Vice President, Commercial Lending Officer. Brandon brings more than 11 years of banking experience and expertise to his new role, with the last eight years focused on regional commercial lending.
In this role, Brandon partners closely with local developers, investors, and business owners to help bring their projects to life. He works alongside clients to navigate financing options, assess opportunities thoughtfully, and guide projects from early planning through completion. With a relationship-driven approach, he is committed to helping customers grow and succeed while strengthening Newburyport Bank’s connection to the business and real estate communities it serves.
“Brandon brings a strong mix of technical expertise, relationship-driven lending, and genuine enthusiasm for supporting local businesses,” said Mary Beth Parker, EVP, Senior Lending Officer for Newburyport Bank. “He understands that successful commercial lending is about more than transactions, it’s about partnership, trust, and long-term impact. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the team.”
Brandon’s commitment to supporting the community through volunteerism aligns him well with Newburyport Bank’s volunteer and community support mission. He was most recently involved with Heading Home, a Boston-based nonprofit dedicated to ending homelessness through its housing-plus-services model. He is looking forward to becoming engaged in the Greater Newburyport community in his new role. Brandon also holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Salem State University.
“I’m excited to join Newburyport Bank and be part of an organization that truly values community, relationships, and thoughtful growth,” said Belanger. “I look forward to working with customers and colleagues to support projects that strengthen our local economy.”
Belanger resides in Salem, New Hampshire, with his wife, Emily, and their two-year-old son, Brayden. The family is excited to welcome their second child this June. Outside of work, he is a devoted Boston sports fan who enjoys skiing, golfing, unwinding with video games, and above all, being a dad.
