Chicago Loan Officer:
Alex Felton
Raised on the north side of Chicago and a graduate of Aurora University, I’ve been part of the greater Chicago community since childhood, with nearly 20 years of experience in the financial industry serving local businesses. I’m passionate about building environments that are dynamic and diverse, and I prioritize community involvement to create meaningful opportunities and support business growth for our neighborhoods.
In addition to working in small business lending, I’m currently a member of the International Minority Banking Alliance of Chicago, 100 Black Men of Chicago, as well as the Chicago Better Business Bureau Educational Foundation, where I serve as Treasurer. As a business development officer at Pursuit, I’m committed to helping Chicago businesses thrive by connecting owners like you with the right financing.
