Jay Montgomery Named Vice President of Operations at SAFE Federal Credit Union

Sumter, SC, June 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Jay Montgomery, who has been with SAFE Federal Credit Union for nine years, has been named vice president of operations at the credit union.

Montgomery succeeds Michael Baker, who recently moved up to the executive vice president position at SAFE.

After joining SAFE as a management trainee following graduation from the University of South Carolina with a business administration degree, Montgomery moved into branch management.

He served as a branch manager at SAFE’s St. Andrews Road branch in Columbia, then at the Bishopville branch, and later at the Lewis Road branch in Sumter. Montgomery then moved into a regional branch director position, and while still managing the Lewis Road branch oversaw operations at three other branches.

“Jay Montgomery has had the front line experience that is so important to the position of vice president of operations,” said Baker. “Our branches are key to our overall operations, and Jay’s experience there has prepared him well for this new role.”

Montgomery is a native of Sumter and a graduate of Sumter High School. He serves on the School Improvement Council for Lakewood High School in Sumter and is a board member for United Way of Sumter, Clarendon and Lee Counties.
