Midland States Bank Introduces Small Business Market Manager Role to Support
Local Business Growth

EFFINGHAM, Ill. – July 15, 2026 – Midland States Bank announced today the creation of a new role designed to strengthen its commitment to small business customers: the Small Business Market Manager.  The Bank has appointed Meghan Hermann to serve in this role in the Northern and Eastern Markets, reinforcing its focus on delivering tailored financial solutions and deepening relationships within the small business community.

The Small Business Market Manager role is dedicated to supporting small business owners, complementing both branch-based service and business banking capabilities.  While branch teams and commercial bankers continue to serve an important role, this position enhances coverage for small businesses with evolving needs by providing proactive outreach, relationship management, and access to a broader range of financial solutions.

“Small businesses are at the heart of every community we serve,” said Min Yun, Vice President of Retail Banking at Midland States Bank.  “The Small Business Market Manager role reflects our continued investment in delivering strong local expertise and relationship-based support.  By dedicating resources specifically to this segment, we are enhancing our ability to better understand business owners’ needs and connect them to the right financial solutions as they grow.”

In this role, Hermann will lead efforts to support small business growth in the market by developing new business relationships, deepening existing client engagement, and building a strong presence within the local community throughout Midland’s Northern Region. The position is also responsible for delivering a range of banking solutions, including business deposit accounts, lines of credit, credit cards, owner-occupied commercial real estate lending, and treasury management services.

Hermann brings nearly 20 years of leadership experience to this role, including her most recent position as Business Market Manager at Midland’s Highcrest Location.

“I look forward to continuing to support small business owners throughout the Northern region and expanding my support to the Eastern region,” said Hermann. “At the heart of this role is building meaningful relationships and helping small businesses succeed.”

The introduction of the Small Business Market Manager role is part of Midland States Bank’s broader strategy to provide relationship-driven banking and personalized support to small business customers.
