When Amanda Klein took a job as a teller in 1998, it started her on a lifelong banking career as she moved into numerous roles that include branch manager, treasury manager and more.

She joined INB in 2020 as VP, Business Solutions for our Bloomington, Peoria and Champaign offices, where she serves business clients in these markets. She is driven by wanting to make life and banking easier for her customers. She finds it gratifying to listen to a customer’s story and needs and then recommend a solution to alleviate their issue.

“We’re a local bank, which means our turnaround time is accommodating to make things happen for business owners. We take a personal interest in making sure that they are successful in what they do,” she says.

Amanda grew up in rural Peoria County with her parents and sister. She notes that her parents instilled the importance of community service in her through their work in service clubs, school board, nonprofits and their church.

Amanda attended community college with Illinois Central College in East Peoria and received her associate’s degree in marketing/sales management. She then obtained her bachelor’s degree in marketing and master’s degree in organizational leadership from Indiana Wesleyan University.

Amanda has been married to her husband for 20 years, and the couple has one son. They enjoy traveling together, especially to locations that have a beach or water. When not working or traveling, she loves to spend time in conversation with family and friends or playing the piano and writing her own music. “I am also a lifelong learner. I am always researching, reading and learning new things whenever possible,” she shares.
