MVB Bank Named One of American Banker’s 2023 Best Banks to Work For

By: via Business Wire

Purpose and Values Driven Culture Recognized Nationally

MVB Bank, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of MVB Financial Corp. (“MVB Financial”) (NASDAQ: MVBF) (collectively “MVB”), for the third consecutive year has been named one of American Banker Magazine’s Best Banks to Work For. MVB placed number 16 among the 90 U.S. banks in the ranking, which assesses employee satisfaction in areas including corporate culture and communications, training and development opportunities and pay and benefits.

“Through our strategic Culture Initiative, culture has become MVB’s secret sauce and part of our corporate DNA, mindset and behavior of Team MVB,” said Larry F. Mazza, CEO, MVB Financial. “These results validate Team Member belief in our culture. We truly strive to be trusted partners on the financial frontier, committed to the success of our Teammates, clients, shareholders and communities.”

The Best Banks to Work For program, which was initiated in 2013 by American Banker and Best Companies Group, identifies, recognizes and honors U.S. banks for outstanding employee satisfaction.

“The banks recognized on this list are trying hard to create workplaces that employees want to join,” said Chana R. Schoenberger, Editor-in-Chief of American Banker. “Especially during this moment when companies are experiencing a shift in how, where and how much employees work, banks are paying attention to how they can best retain their people.”

The selection of the Best Banks to Work For is a two-step process managed by Best Companies Group. The first step involves an evaluation of participating companies’ workplace policies, practices and demographics. In the second step, employee surveys are conducted to directly assess the experiences and attitudes of individual employees with respect to their workplace. The combined scores determine the top banks and the final rankings.

Full results of this year’s program are available at https://www.americanbanker.com/list/best-banks-to-work-for-2023 and in the November issue of American Banker Magazine.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations about the future and subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, information concerning possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon any forward-looking statements. Those factors include but are not limited to: market, economic, operational, liquidity, and credit risk; changes in market interest rates; inability to achieve anticipated synergies and successfully integrate recent mergers and acquisitions; inability to successfully execute business plans, including strategies related to investments in financial technology companies; competition; length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business and financial condition; changes in economic, business, and political conditions; changes in demand for loan products and deposit flow; operational risks and risk management failures; and government regulation and supervision. Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as well as its other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to update, revise, or correct any forward-looking statements.
