Tony Wong, chief banking officer of FHLBank San Francisco, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Jennifer to the team and know that in today’s complex financial market, her deep experience in managing both customer relationship and credit risk management teams will make an immediate difference across the Bank and for our members. Ever more important today are regional banks and community-based lending institutions that are at a critical inflection point in today’s financial environment.”

Wong added that Schachterle’s role as the senior liaison with FHLBank San Francisco’s member institutions “has never been more essential” as the bank continues to develop products, services, and tools to “support and preserve local community lending.”
