Hamilton will succeed Kris Klein, who has been Far Bank’s CEO since 2020 and long-time member of the Board of Directors. Klein will continue his engagement with Far Bank as a member of the board, while also spending the next year onsite at Far Bank to mentor Ryan and the senior leadership team to ensure a smooth transition.
Hamilton’s appointment as CEO follows a string of moves to strengthen Far Bank’s senior leadership team. Long time industry insider Mike Moore was brought in as Chief Revenue Officer in 2024, and Tom Larimer was also brought on as Director of Wholesale Sales, among other moves.
