First Federal Bank announced commercial lending services are expanding to the Tampa, FL market, to complement the existing mortgage offering. Jennifer Mulligan has joined the First Federal team as the Commercial Market Manager and will locally serve her hometown of Tampa Bay.

Mulligan has over 22 years of banking experience and is passionate about helping to grow relationships with clients and their businesses in the area. Commercial solutions range from structured deals to business expansion loans and also support clients with a desire for government-backed commercial loans.

"Tampa is a natural extension for First Federal Bank," said Robert Turbeville, Chief Lending Officer. "Businesses in the Tampa Bay area need commercial lending and banking services that can be tailored to their needs. An institution of our size is able to provide unique solutions with local, personal service."
