WesBanco, Inc. Expands Presence in Northern Virginia with Commercial Loan Production Office

Names David Leudemann as City President and Senior Commercial Banker

WHEELING, W.Va., July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- WesBanco, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, announced today the opening of a commercial loan production office (LPO) in Northern Virginia, significantly expanding its capabilities in the Dulles Corridor and broader Washington, D.C. metro region. This marks WesBanco's first commercial-focused LPO in the area, building on the capabilities and offerings of the Bank's existing residential mortgage LPO and complementing our presence in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The new commercial LPO reflects WesBanco's long-term strategy to grow in high-opportunity markets adjacent to its current footprint. With this expansion, WesBanco brings dedicated lending expertise across a broad range of commercial industries to a dynamic and economically vibrant region encompassing seven counties in Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C. area.

"The launch of our new commercial loan production office in Northern Virginia represents a significant step forward in WesBanco's strategic expansion," said Jay Zatta, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Banking Officer. "This dynamic market offers tremendous opportunities for business growth and meaningful community engagement."

WesBanco's banking affiliate, WesBanco Bank, has hired David Leudemann, City President and Senior Commercial Banker to launch and lead the LPO. An industry veteran with deep ties to the region, Leudemann and his team will cultivate new client relationships and drive growth across the commercial banking business. Leudemann joins WesBanco from Atlantic Union Bank where he most recently served as the Market President in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

"WesBanco's longstanding reputation as a trusted financial institution and dedicated community partner makes this an exciting opportunity for Northern Virginia," said Leudemann. "We're here to deliver tailored financial solutions that empower local and regional businesses to thrive. With our strategic insight and commitment to creating exceptional customer experiences, the Bank is ready to meet the unique needs of its customers throughout the region."

WesBanco has earned a series of accolades for soundness and profitability, customer service, employer of choice and community development, including its eighth consecutive "Outstanding" FDIC Community Reinvestment Act rating and recent inclusion in Forbes' Most Trusted Companies in America and Newsweek's Best Regional Banks.

WesBanco's Northern Virginia commercial LPO is currently co-located with its residential mortgage LPO at 44084 Riverside Parkway, Suite 120, Leesburg, Virginia with plans to relocate to Fairfax County in the near future.
