Voyager Lending joins the Merchants & Marine Bank family

We're proud to announce a new addition to the Merchants & Marine Bank family: Voyager Lending just took flight, and our team of SBA and USDA loan experts is already hard at work helping small business owners.

The Voyager Lending team will have a focus on the Southeast, where we're headquartered, but Voyager Lending can help business owners throughout the country find capital that might not be available otherwise. And like Merchants & Marine Bank, a steadfast commitment to community is front and center.

"This lending division is a direct reflection of our philosophy," says Clayton Legear, President and CEO of Merchants & Marine Bancorp, "and we’re very proud to offer financial expertise to partners who are working towards the same vision.”

Small business loans with Voyager Lending

Voyager Lending can serve a wide range of small business owners with loan products that are backed by the United States government through the Small Business Administration and United States Department of Agriculture.

These loans can provide startup costs, fund working capital, equipment financing or real estate purchases, or be used for business acquisitions and partner buyouts.

As a division of Merchants & Marine Bank, Voyager Lending's overarching goal is community-focused: strengthening local economies and helping communities grow by working with the small business owners who power that engine.

"Small business owners are critical to the expansion of local economies," says Matthew McElveen, who leads Voyager Lending as its President. "Being raised by parents who were small business owners in rural Georgia, I am honored to have the opportunity to serve local business owners across the Southeast. It is immensely rewarding to ultimately see their businesses grow and their dreams become a reality."
