Where Relationships Matter

Poca Valley Bank is proud to serve Putnam County with locations in Poca and Winfield , WV . Striving to be your local community bank , we take great pride in making local decisions regarding your financial needs .
One of the most common questions we are asked is how our name was chosen .
Our main office remains on the banks of the Pocatalico 109 years later . We have now expanded to seven locations : Walton , Clendenin , Elkview , Sissonville , Poca , Winfield and Spencer . With nearly 109 years in business , we bring reliability and relationship to our customers . Two of our biggest areas of success are showcased in mortgage and commercial lending .
“ A pebble ’ s throw from our headquarters office in Walton , WV , runs the Pocatalico River ,” says President and CEO Linda Ashley . “ I imagine our founding fathers correlating their vision of being a financial resource for the Walton community with the viable natural resource of the Pocatalico River . The Pocatalico River originates in Roane County and twists and turns throughout 75 miles of our rugged landscape . It rises near the community of Looneyville from a natural spring and flows southwestwardly through southern Roane into northern Kanawha County and past the community of Sissonville , flowing through southeastern Putnam County where it meets the Kanawha River near the town of Poca . Its name was officially declared in 1907 . At this time , the Pocatalico was a viable resource used to transport lumber , consumer goods and livestock to and from market . In my simple mind , I see these gentlemen congregating in a smoke-filled room , discussing the name of their new venture and drawing the similarities of how the Pocatalico River starts in Roane County , is a resource for their livelihood and flows along a path through the valleys of neighboring counties , and ultimately our name was born — The Poca Valley Bank , Inc . The year was 1908 .”
