MILLERSBURG, Pa., Dec. 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mid Penn Bank (the “Bank”), a subsidiary of Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MPB), is pleased to announce that First Vice President and Director of SBA/Guaranteed Lending Natalie Falatek has been named the 2020 PPP Lender of the Year by the Coleman Report.

“We are proud of Natalie for earning this prestigious award,” said Mid Penn Bank President and CEO Rory G.

Regarding her part, Ms. Falatek says, “Helping Main Street business owners as they fight for their survival has been our primary focus in 2020. I am particularly excited for the possibility of another round of PPP funding, and my team is laying the groundwork now so that we can be there again to assist small businesses in our communities if and when the government authorizes the program.”

Ms. Falatek has been employed by Mid Penn Bank for nearly ten years, has more than 15 years of financial services experience, and is one of only 49 lenders in the country to have earned the prestigious 7A Accreditation through NAGGL’s Advanced Lender Diploma Program.
