KentMoonKent Moon Retires from Member Business Lending

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time and tenure working with the dedicated member service team at MBL,” says Kent. “I believe our hard work the past several years to attain our current leadership position as the go-to CUSO for credit unions will continue to pay off for years to come. MBL clients can rest assured their needs will continue to be addressed quickly and professionally by the staff here at MBL they have come to know and trust. I look forward to enjoying my retirement and know that the team at MBL will continue the good work we’ve started.”

Under Moon’s tenure since 2004, the West Jordan, Utah-based MBL generated more than 7,000 small business loans totaling $2 billion.

Before joining MBL, Kent was a Senior Vice President of Zion’s First National Bank where he designed and implemented virtually all aspects of the bank’s small business program. Prior to his time at Zion’s Bank, Kent served as District Director of SBA’s Utah District.

Kent is a nationally recognized authority in small business development and commercial lending. Mr. Moon has also written numerous articles and books on small business and American Capitalism.
