Erin Chase is more than a lender—she’s a trusted advisor to small business owners who are ready to grow but haven’t always found the support they deserve. With an MBA from Robert Morris University and a career rooted in regional and private banking, Erin built her expertise by managing complex, nuanced loan transactions as a Senior Analyst and Portfolio Manager. Over time, she saw a pattern—too many capable, passionate entrepreneurs being overlooked by traditional lenders.

That realization led her to Community Reinvestment Fund, USA, where she now serves as Director of Lending. In this role, Erin brings both technical expertise and genuine care to every conversation—listening closely, offering honest guidance, and designing capital solutions that meet people where they are. She believes in creating access, not obstacles, by partnering with business owners to turn big ideas into thriving realities.
