A loan officer is a person employed by a bank or other financial institution who offers and negotiates financial loans.
Loan officers also assemble financial packages for consumers who wish to apply for loans.
Loan officers typically hold bachelor’s degrees in business, finance, or economics, but nowadays many employers prefer applicants with master’s degrees.
