MVB Bank Opens Branch Banking Location in Northern Virginia

FAIRMONT, W.Va., Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MVB Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MVB Financial Corp., today opened a new branch location in Reston, Virginia.  The new Reston Branch, located at 1801 Old Reston Avenue, Suite 103, marks the company's first full service location outside of West Virginia and the fifth banking office opened this year. This new banking location will complement the five MVB Mortgage locations throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C. currently.

As the first financial service center for the company in Northern Virginia, the new MVB Reston branch provides full commercial and retail banking, wealth management, mortgage lending and insurance services to clients.

Led by Regional President, Jamie Nalls, the Reston branch has a team of knowledgeable bankers to assist and offer clients a traditional personal relationship banking experience as well as the latest technological conveniences, such as automated, interactive teller systems and an intelligent, deposit-taking ATM to increase client accessibility.

"With Jamie's leadership, relationships and more than two decades of lending experience in Northern Virginia, we have seen an immediate impact in this market, finding a significant number of lending clients eager to work with MVB and our philosophy of being a trusted partner for our clients," said Larry F. Mazza, CEO MVB Financial Corp.

"I am excited to build on my experiences in this market because we know how community banking is done and done right," Nalls said. "Building on the successes and partnerships with Ed Dean and his team at MVB Mortgage, we have a solid foundation and the talent to offer a true relationship-centric financial services center."

Along with leadership from Byron Schulze, Senior Vice President, Nalls noted the Northern Virginia market was primed for the introduction of a new client relationship focused financial institution.

"The best interest of the client is critical to our successes in this market and that is a core value for MVB. We have taken our time to find the very best people and talent in the market and as we open our doors today, people will see the MVB difference and it will set us apart."  

Over the last three years, MVB has completed a series of strategic initiatives to enter into the Northern Virginia market. In 2012, the company acquired Potomac Mortgage Company, now MVB Mortgage. MVB Mortgage, the bank's wholly-owned subsidiary currently operates in numerous locations including Fairfax, McLean, Ashburn, and Washington D.C. In 2014, MVB assembled an experienced and knowledgeable lending team, led by Nalls, to establish the MVB Commercial Lending Company, a loan production office serving the Northern Virginia market.

"MVB's expansion into Northern Virginia just makes sense in our growth plan and fits well with the successes of our mortgage company," Mazza said. "We've taken a very systematic approach to our growth by first building relationships in these different geographic areas and then opening up a full service financial center location that reflects the needs of our clients. This new financial services center in Reston represents a crucial key to our future expansion." 

In 2015, MVB Bank, the SBA Community Bank of the Year in the State of West Virginia, has launched five other banking locations, including new banking offices in Fairmont, West Virginia, at the I-79 Technology Park; in downtown Charleston, West Virginia; and in two acquired locations in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, just outside the Washington, D.C. metro area.  

"We have built a lot of momentum in Northern Virginia through the leadership of Ed Dean, Jamie Nalls and their teams," Mazza said, "We are excited about this new Reston branch location and how it fits into our plan for the future."
