Plumas Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Plumas Bancorp, recently announced that Jeff Moore, executive vice president and chief credit officer, will retire at the end of the year. Since joining Plumas Bank in 2018, Moore has provided strong leadership and expertise, guiding the bank’s credit teams through pivotal advancements, said the bank.
Moore’s banking career spans more than four decades. During his tenure at Plumas Bank, he and his team led the adoption of the Sageworks underwriting platform in the commercial lending process, introduced a Business Express product to expedite small business loan delivery across branches and lending teams, and implemented a financial management tool to modernize the loan tickler process. Under his leadership, the bank transformed its credit policy and strengthened lending capabilities, positioning Plumas Bank for continued growth and stability, said bank representatives.
Upon Moore’s retirement, Kevin Kaiser, senior vice president/credit administrator, will assume the role of chief credit officer, said the bank. Kaiser joined Plumas Bank in 2014, bringing extensive commercial and agricultural lending experience along with deep knowledge of the bank’s markets. In his role as credit administrator since 2019, Kaiser worked closely with Moore and will provide steady leadership and continuity across the portfolio management, special assets, loan documentation, credit services and loan servicing teams, promises the bank.
“Jeff’s leadership evolved every aspect of our credit function,” said Andy Ryback, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bank. “He brought clear standards, practical tools and mentorship to our teams — improving quality, speed and risk management at the same time. We are grateful for his contributions and the durable framework he leaves in place.”
Ryback added, “With Kevin’s expertise and intimate knowledge of our markets, we are confident in a smooth transition that will uphold our high standards of credit discipline.”
Founded in 1980, Plumas Bank is a locally managed, full-service community bank headquartered in Quincy. The bank’s holding company, Plumas Bancorp, was formed in 2002 and entered the Nasdaq small cap market in 2005. More information on Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank is available at plumasbank.com.
