A Relationship You Can Bank On
Year by the Morgantown Area
Chamber of Commerce for
its commitment to economic
development and community
service in the Morgantown area.
It is this commitment to local
communities and the dedication
of its employees that have made
United “West Virginia’s Bank.”
What began as one branch
in Parkersburg has now grown
to become the largest publicly
traded company headquartered
in West Virginia.
United Bank’s story began on St.
Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1839, prior
to West Virginia becoming a state.
In 1996, United opened its doors
in Morgantown. Today, United has
the largest market share in the
area, with one out of every three
dollars being deposited at one of
United’s six locations throughout
Morgantown.
What sets United apart in the
marketplace is its reputation for
building lasting relationships
with customers and providing
them with unmatched service.
In addition to many local
Morgantown businesses, United
has a long-standing relationship
with West Virginia University
(WVU) and its hospitals. These
relationships are reinforced
through United’s mission to
provide excellence in service
to its shareholders, employees,
customers and the local
communities it serves.
United invests more than financial
resources into the communities
it serves. United’s employees
and directors take an active role
in their communities, serving
on boards and committees,
sponsoring local events and
helping make a difference in
thousands of lives each day. This
year, United was recognized
as the Big Business of the
Today, United has grown to
become the 41st largest banking
company in the nation with
130 offices across West Virginia,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Virginia and Washington, D.C.,
and it employs more than
1,600 experienced banking
professionals. United continues to
expand its footprint, as it recently
acquired Bank of Georgetown,
a privately owned bank in the
Georgetown neighborhood of
Washington, D.C. This transaction
marked United’s 30th acquisition.
United will continue to embrace
new challenges and recognize
new opportunities. At United,
the challenge to be the best
never ends.
“We have a market niche in which
we are large enough that we
can do multimillion dollar deals
like WVU and the Monongalia
County Ball Park, but yet we are
small enough that we can still
structure deals to help small
businesses and individuals in the
community,” says Randy Williams,
senior vice president and chief
commercial lender at United’s
Suncrest office.
