June 3, 2025
Ames, Iowa, Tuesday, June 3, 2025 - TS Bank is pleased to announce Sumit Patel as the new Vice President of Business Banking at its Ames location on Lincoln Way.
In his 16-year banking career, Patel has served in various banking roles, including personal banking, client relationship management, sales and commercial lending. In his new role, his primary focus will be commercial lending and business services.
Patel is a graduate of Iowa State University, where he earned dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Management and Marketing in 2008. A native of Woodward, Iowa, Patel has long considered Ames a second home. “I grew up a huge Cyclones fan and spent a lot of time in Ames,” said Patel. “It’s where I met my wife, Logan, started my banking career on Main Street, and even launched my first business. Ames has always had that small-town feel with big-town amenities, and I’m excited to be back.”
Patel’s professional background includes leadership roles at Aflac, Dubuque Bank & Trust, Peoples Bank, Henry Schein Dental as well as Wells Fargo. He also previously owned and operated Snappysdelivers.com, an online grocery delivery service that served the Ames area from 2008 to 2009.
“With his excellent financial services background and a strong connection to the Ames community, Sumit brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for relationship banking to the role,” said TS Banking Group President of Community Banking, Dave Wise. “He will be instrumental in driving growth and continuing to deliver on our mission to ignite lasting client and community prosperity.”
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Patel is actively involved in the community. He currently serves on the board of First Tee Central Iowa and supports charitable initiatives such as the American Cancer Society’s Coaches vs. Cancer and The Sammy Charity Scramble, a golf tournament he and his wife host to benefit children’s charities.
In his free time, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring local restaurants and breweries as well as playing golf.
