Eli Samek is a Business Banker located at our Eastpoint Parkway branch in Louisville, Kentucky. He is a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a B.A. in Business Administration (a double major in Marketing and Finance) and has over five years of banking experience.  

Eli spent two years as a Commercial Lender with Truist Bank and five years as a Banking Analyst with Peoples Bank before taking on his current role. Serving businesses throughout Louisville, he is committed to making sure clients feel like they have a friend and trusted resource in their corner, not just a banker. 

“I’m naturally curious,” he says. “I truly enjoy seeing what makes each business or industry unique. Their stories allow me to better understand their goals and provide thoughtful, personalized solutions.” 

His guiding principle comes from author Dale Carnegie: relationships only grow when you truly and genuinely take the time to understand people. 

When asked what makes Peoples Bank special, his answer reflects the culture Peoples has built: “Coworkers who go out of their way to help one another with no expectation of anything in return.” 

Outside of work, Eli supports the Kids Cancer Alliance and serves as a 4-H sponsor, giving back to the community he serves.
