Mazza, President and CEO, MVB Financial Corp.

“The purchase of these branches represents an outstanding opportunity for Summit Community Bank to expand its presence in and commitment to the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia and adds the convenience of more banking locations for our clients,” stated Summit’s President and Chief Executive Officer, H. Charles Maddy, III. “MVB Bank has a long-standing reputation of providing their clients with superior customer service, and we are dedicated to upholding this tradition by providing ‘Service Beyond Expectations’ and making this transition a smooth experience,” Maddy concluded.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2020.
