At Mid America Bank, our team is here to support your financial goals every step of the way. I’d like to introduce you to Trisha Barnes, a valuable resource for you and your business.
Hi, I’m Trisha Barnes! I have spent over 15 years in the banking industry serving clients and their businesses. I am committed to understanding client needs and helping walk them through solutions. When I’m not focusing on clients, I enjoy spending time with my family and being an active community member in both the Jefferson City and Columbia communities.
What are the key responsibilities of a Treasury Management Officer and how do you support clients? As a Treasury Management Officer, I serve as a strategic partner, helping businesses maintain financial strength and stay focused on future growth. Through lasting relationships and customized solutions, I equip businesses with the insight and tools needed to grow, adapt, and thrive in an evolving financial landscape. For me, being a Treasury Management Officer is about helping real people run the businesses they’ve poured their hearts into. I get to sit down with businesses, hear their stories, understand their goals, and build financial strategies that actually work for them.
What does a typical day look like for you? What I love most about my work is that every day brings something new. One moment I’m sitting with a business owner, learning about their challenges. The next, I’m reviewing portfolios to ensure everything’s running smoothly or teaming up with colleagues to find the right solution together. Everyday it’s all about listening closely, solving pain points thoughtfully, and helping businesses feel confident in their financial decisions. When people know they’re supported, they can focus on growing their business with less stress and more peace of mind.
What drew you to this role and what excites you most about working with businesses? Helping others has always been at the heart of what I do. With Treasury Management, I get to turn that passion into action solving financial pain points and helping businesses grow. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear customers say their finances are finally working for them, not against them. I truly believe that when people feel supported and trust the guidance they’re given, they can move forward with confidence.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received? “Always lead with integrity.” It’s a simple principle, but it’s the foundation of everything I do personally and professionally. In banking, trust is the currency that matters most, and I work hard to earn it with every conversation, every decision, and every solution I offer.
