First Internet Bank of Indiana, a premier provider of online retail and business banking services nationwide, announced Daniel E. Burd has joined the bank as Managing Director of its asset-based lending line of business.

Operating under the name First Internet Bank Business Capital, the asset-based lending division provides working capital to small- to medium-sized companies ($10 - $50 million in sales) nationally from a loan production office in Portland, Oregon. Asset-based financing options generally ranging from $2 million to $5 million include revolving lines of credit backed by accounts receivable and inventory as well as term loans backed by equipment and/or real estate.

Burd brings over 30 years experience in asset based and commercial lending at financial institutions including Northwest Acceptance, Commonwealth Financial, Congress Financial, Textron Financial, and Wells Fargo. "This was an exciting opportunity for me to leverage my experience in asset-based lending and to become part of a growing organization," Burd said.

Said David Becker, President and CEO of First Internet Bank: "We are pleased to have Dan on board to orchestrate the growth of this line of business. His passion for finding appropriate financing solutions to help businesses will be a key to the team's success in asset-based lending."
