Frandsen Bank & Trust is pleased to welcome Ken Hanley, business banker, to its Eau Claire team. With more than 25 years of industry experience and a strong background in commercial lending, Hanley is committed to helping local businesses build strong financial foundations and long-term success.

“We’re pleased to welcome Ken to Frandsen Bank,” says Melissa Peterson, Eau Claire bank president. “His extensive industry experience and thoughtful approach to relationship banking make him an excellent fit for our team and a knowledgeable partner for our customers.”

Hanley began his banking career following eight years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard. His banking career spans personal banking, residential construction lending, and commercial lending roles across the Midwest and most recently Alaska.

Outside the office, Hanley enjoys exploring the Eau Claire area, traveling with his family, and working in the yard. A dedicated volunteer, he has served on several non-profit boards, including the McHenry County Habitat for Humanity, Lincolnwood Chamber of Commerce, Salvation Army of Alaska, and Junior Achievement of Alaska. He is also a member of the American Legion.
