Hello.

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Andrew Dillard, I am a Co-Founder and COO of Acceleron Bank (in formation).  

I have 20+ years in the banking industry with an emphasis in Commercial Banking, Commercial Risk Management, Lending, International Markets, Treasury, Global Capital Markets, International Finance, Financial Analysis, & Foreign Exchange (Whoa, that was a mouthful!) In 2020 I joined the Acceleron team in the quest to bring high revenue, non-interest generating services back in house for community banks and credit unions. I advocate for the bankers and the institutions that provide financial services to their local communities. I am also an avid tennis player in case anyone wants to meet up for a match!
