Windsor Federal Bank has appointed FVP, Residential & Consumer Lending

Windsor, CT, April 15, 2025 — Windsor Federal Bank, a respected community bank serving Hartford County and beyond for over 86 years, is pleased to announce the appointment of Daniel Silva as First Vice President, Residential & Consumer Lending. In this newly created leadership role, Mr. Silva will lead the growth and enhancement of the bank’s residential and consumer lending division; a critical component of Windsor Federal’s long-term strategic vision.

Mr. Silva brings more than 15 years of progressive leadership experience in mortgage banking, sales, and operations. He will oversee all facets of the bank’s residential lending strategy, including origination, portfolio growth, customer experience, and team development. Known for building high-performing teams and implementing operational efficiencies, Mr. Silva will play an integral role in expanding Windsor Federal’s footprint across the communities it serves.

Prior to joining Windsor Federal, Mr. Silva served as Vice President of Marketplace Lending at OwnUp, where he led a major restructuring of the sales organization to improve efficiency and adapt to changing market conditions. Earlier in his career, he managed an $8 billion mortgage portfolio at People’s United Bank and played a pivotal role in doubling originations within the direct-to-consumer lending team from $250 million to $500 million in a single year.

A Glastonbury, Connecticut resident, Mr. Silva is known by colleagues and mentors as a collaborative and ethical leader who earns trust through action.

“Dan is a well-rounded individual…he’s a solid teammate and an excellent lender,” noted one former colleague. “He follows through on his commitments and brings out the best in the people around him.”

Another added: “He has an eye for talent. He knows how to build teams, not just by hiring experienced lenders but by identifying go-getters and helping them grow. Dan gets everyone rowing in the same direction.”

Mr. Silva’s appointment reflects Windsor Federal’s ongoing investment in leadership that combines deep industry knowledge with a passion for community banking. The bank’s strong reputation and unique status as the only federal savings association in Connecticut give it the flexibility to serve a broad base of customers while maintaining a deeply local presence.
