Vallant Bank is proud to have Laura Rutledge on our team as a Mortgage Loan Officer. Her specialty is helping customers achieve their homeownership goals.

Laura began her banking career as a teller in Milledgeville before moving up to Branch Manager. Over the years, she gained extensive credit knowledge by working in loan operations and then as a consumer lender. Now, she specializes in mortgage lending and continues on that path with Vallant Bank.

As a Mortgage Loan Officer, she now confidently guides borrowers from pre-qualification through closing.

A Covington native and graduate of Georgia College and State University with a BS in Political Science, she is also a graduate of the Newton County Leadership program and an active member of the Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce and the Covington Kiwanis Club.
