Team Highlight: Amelia Magette
Senior Vice President/Commercial Lender | Downtown Clarksville
At Legends Bank, great service starts with great people. Our Team Highlights series is designed to introduce you to the dedicated team members who serve our customers and communities every day. In each feature, we share a behind-the-scenes look at the individuals who help build relationships, provide guidance, and make banking more personal.
For Amelia Magette, Legends Bank Senior Vice President/Commercial Lender, banking has always been about more than numbers. It’s about relationships, vision, and helping people build something meaningful.
Decades of Experience and Insight
With 32 years in the banking and finance industry, including 13 years at Legends Bank, Amelia brings decades of experience, insight, and trusted guidance to the businesses and entrepreneurs she serves.
She began her journey at Legends as a Branch Manager and Business Banker, and today, as Senior Vice President/Commercial Lender, she helps customers navigate everything from commercial purchases and construction projects to lines of credit and long-term business growth.
“I enjoy the relationships, the vision, the trust, and seeing all the work come to fruition,” says Amelia. “It thrills me to see the successes of my customers and knowing I had a small role in helping make it happen.”
That passion for partnership is at the core of Amelia’s approach. She sees her role not simply as providing financing, but as offering meaningful financial guidance rooted in trust, expertise, and a genuine investment in her customers’ success.
Helping Businesses Move Forward
Amelia works closely with business owners to provide clear, prompt, and thoughtful support tailored to their goals. Whether she’s helping finance a commercial purchase, support a construction project, or guide long-term financial decisions, she believes success is built one step at a time.
Her advice to customers is simple, but powerful.
“Be patient, take one step at a time, focus on your progress, and keep moving forward.” – Amelia Magette
That mindset reflects the way Amelia approaches both banking and life: with patience, purpose, and a steady commitment to progress
Supporting Women in Business Through Her Bank
In addition to her work in commercial lending, Amelia is also a co-creator of Her Bank, Legends Bank’s brand created to provide a better banking experience for women, especially women entrepreneurs.
Her Bank builds on Legends Bank’s long-standing commitment to women in leadership while recognizing the unique opportunities and challenges women often face in financial conversations. It was created to help bridge gaps in confidence, access, and financial literacy. Through trusted relationships, personalized guidance, and flexible banking solutions, Her Bank focuses on empowering women with the tools and support they need to succeed.
For Amelia, this initiative reflects a deeper passion for advocacy and community impact. By helping women business owners navigate important financial decisions and access meaningful resources, she plays a role in supporting both individual success stories and broader economic growth in the communities Legends serves.
Life Beyond Banking
A Clarksville native, Amelia’s roots in the community run deep. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family, traveling, cooking, reading, painting, and decorating, all creative outlets that reflect both her energy and appreciation for connection.
While many know Amelia today for her financial expertise, she’s also got a fun musical side that might surprise people! Back in her Clarksville Academy days, she stayed busy DJ’ing for WJZM’s High School Hour and singing in her high school band, Vanilla Thunder — an early sign of her confidence, creativity, and ability to find her voice.
Those early experiences were just one chapter in a life shaped by confidence, connection, and a desire to make a meaningful impact
Rooted in Community, Focused on Success
Amelia’s story reflects what community banking is all about: trusted relationships, local leadership, and helping others achieve their vision. Whether she’s financing business growth, advocating for women entrepreneurs, or giving back through community involvement, Amelia continues to make a lasting difference.
At Legends Bank, her work is helping shape stronger businesses, stronger relationships, and a stronger community.
At Legends Bank, we believe great banking starts with great people. Our Team Highlights series shines a light on the team members who serve our communities with integrity, care, and a commitment to building lasting relationships.
