Shirley Polanco

Business Development Officer, VP

In my role as a Business Development Officer with Fidelity Bank’s SBA Lending division, I am responsible for expanding Fidelity Bank’s Small Business Administration lending program, as well as specializing in business acquisitions and commercial real estate financing.

I have over five years of SBA lending experience. Prior to joining Fidelity Bank, I worked for Dogwood State Bank as an SBA Business Lending Specialist. I also held SBA Business Development Officer and SBA Relationship Manager positions at Patriot Bank and Diamond Financial Services.

I graduated from Ashford University with a Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Finance. I currently reside in Raleigh with my husband, Jhoangel Polanco, and have two children. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, swimming, hiking, and spending time with my family.
