Leading The Federal Savings Bank’s Consumer Loan Division, Jason Smartt oversees the Consumer Lending group which primarily focuses on our Smart Loan and home equity loan products. Jason also works closely with Secondary Marketing leadership to grow and maintain investor relationships on behalf of The Federal Savings Bank.
Passionate about helping others, Jason previously pursued a career in brand management at The Kraft Heinz Company and Tyson Foods. Prior to joining The Federal Savings Bank, he co-founded CreditServe, an alternate lender focused on our veteran population. As a Captain in the United States Army, he served as a Field Artillery Officer in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.
Jason earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Leadership and Management with a concentration in Systems Engineering from the United States Military Academy and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.
While pursuing his MBA, Jason led a team of his classmates and a professor to form an online lending company for the sole purpose of providing more favorable personal loan interest rates and terms to our active-duty soldiers, sailors and airmen. He believed our servicemen and women are valuable customers beyond their credit score, so he designed a credit modeling procedure to incorporate military records into the credit underwriting process. Today, that vision is a reality in the bank’s proprietary Smart Loan product, which is not only available for veterans but for all bank mortgage customers.
Using his expertise and experience, Jason helps active-duty men and women transition from the military into civilian careers outside of his career. He also enjoys spending time with his family, lifting weights, BBQ and lounging with his dog.
