Walking along Market Street in downtown Parkersburg , you ’ ll see the Parkersburg Art Center , the Blennerhassett Hotel and a white marble building donning the name Parkersburg National Bank , paying homage to the history and roots of West Virginia ’ s Bank .
United Bank first opened its doors in Parkersburg on St . Patrick ’ s Day , March 17 , 1839 , prior to West Virginia becoming a state . That special day has led to a longstanding bank tradition of jointly celebrating St . Patrick ’ s Day and its anniversary each year . Today , United is the largest publicly traded company headquartered in the state of West Virginia and one of the premier financial companies in the nation .
United is proud to offer customers a full suite of products and services , ranging from free checking accounts and mortgage loan programs , to brokerage and wealth management services , as well as all traditional , online and mobile banking services . But what sets United apart in the marketplace is its dedication to building lasting relationships with its customers and providing them with unparalleled service . This is reinforced through United ’ s mission to provide excellence in service to its employees , customers , shareholders and communities it serves .
“ Facts and figures aside , our competitive advantage truly is our people , who carry out United ’ s core values of integrity , hard work , teamwork and caring , every single day ,” said Richard Adams , chairman and CEO of United .
United invests more than financial resources into the communities it serves . United ’ s employees and directors play an active role in building vibrant communities within its footprint , serving on boards and committees , sponsoring local events and helping make a difference in thousands of lives each day .
United ’ s most notable fundraising event in the Mid-Ohio Valley is the annual Kids Golf Classic , which benefits the Boys & Girls Club of Parkersburg . For the 24th consecutive year , members of the local business and golf community came together to support the more than 900 local youth served annually by the organization .
