Originally born and raised in Miami, Fla., Joe Fendi moved to the St. Louis area in 1995. He graduated from St. Charles West High School and attended the University of Missouri St. Louis. 

Joe’s finance career began in 2002 working in the Wells Fargo home mortgage department. From there, he opened his own mortgage company with several partners. He sold his portion of the company in 2008 and joined Monarch Growers International, where he was a manager for the import/export company.

Two years later, Joe rejoined the finance field in a new role with Bank of Edwardsville, which was acquired by Busey Bank. 

Today, Joe serves as VP, commercial lending for INB’s Chesterfield, Mo., loan office. 

“INB is a very customer-centric, friendly environment,” Joe says. “It’s a great place to work with great leadership. I love INB’s ability to execute quickly because in our market, you’ve got to move fast.”

Joe is married to Mary Ann, and the couple has two daughters, Libby and Amelia. He enjoys spending time with his family, cheering on his oldest daughter during her dance, gymnastics and swimming competitions, and attending clay sporting events.

Joe also serves as president of his homeowners’ association and participates in the annual St. Louis Fair and America’s Birthday Parade every Fourth of July.
