MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Evolve Bank & Trust has added a Small Business Administration (SBA) division with a nationwide platform into its portfolio of service offerings, effective March 15, 2011.

The Evolve Bank & Trust SBA division will be located in Denver, Colo., and staffed by former employees of United Western Bank. Evolve Bank & Trust, based in West Memphis, Ark., currently operates five full-service branches in Arkansas and Tennessee and more than 20 mortgage production offices nationwide.

"We're thrilled to welcome the SBA group to Evolve," said Scott Stafford, president and CEO, Evolve Bank & Trust. "The group's 13 successful years of being preferred lenders brings depth and breadth of experience and allows us to enter the SBA business with an established nationwide platform led by a highly successful, seasoned group."
