The Provident Bank announces the formation of an Asset-Based Lending Group that will serve businesses throughout the bank’s footprint in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.

Sharon Bender of Basking Ridge, joins Provident to lead the new group as senior vice president and director of Asset Based Lending. She previously managed asset-based lending at Sun National Bank for the past five years. With more than 25 years of banking experience, Bender holds an MBA in Finance from Rutgers University.
