Unified Announces Grand Opening of New Wheeling Banking Center
Tuesday, December 9, 2025
Unified Bank is proud to announce the grand opening of its new Wheeling Banking Center, located at 836 National Road in the Woodsdale section of Wheeling. The new facility, situated along the busy Route 40 Corridor next to CVS Pharmacy, will serve as Unified’s regional West Virginia banking hub.
The completion of this modern, more than 8,000-square-foot banking center marks a significant milestone in Unified Bank’s ongoing investment in the Ohio Valley, where the bank has served customers and communities since 1902. The new location provides comprehensive retail and commercial banking services, which will initially be supported by a team of ten full-time members.
Unified Bank Chairman, President, and CEO Scott Everson mentioned that the Wheeling Banking Center was developed to better serve the many customers that we already have in this highly-appealing market by having a physical presence, which will improve the overall customer experience and increase our service capacity to better meet their present and future needs.
“The opening of this new facility represents a major step forward in our commitment to the Wheeling community,” Everson said. “Our customers have asked for a full-service location, and we are very pleased to deliver a modern, convenient, and highly functional banking center that better meets their needs and reflects our deep connection to this region. Unified Bank’s vision is to create better lives and futures for the people and communities we proudly serve, and this new office strengthens our ability to do exactly that.”
The first floor of the new Wheeling Banking Center houses Unified’s retail banking operations, including offices for a Customer Experience & Sales Executive, a Mortgage Loan Originator, a Customer Experience Manager overseeing account and teller operations, and multiple Customer Service Representatives ready to meet the daily needs of both our consumer and business depository customers. The first floor also includes a large conference room for customer meetings and loan closings, as well as a dedicated space for safe deposit box services. In addition, night-depository services will be provided at this banking center for extended and secure service to our depository customers after normal banking hours.
The second floor of this new facility houses Unified’s commercial banking operations, including offices for Commercial Lenders and Treasury Management Team Members, along with areas for document production and storage, a larger conference room for meetings and a kitchen and break room for all team members.
A separate three-lane drive-up banking facility sits approximately 300 feet behind the main banking center building. Staffed by up to three Customer Service Representatives, it includes an island ATM offering 24-hour access and customer support. The dedicated entrance and exit on Leatherwood Lane ensures smooth traffic flow and convenient customer access to the drive-up center.
A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on December 9, 2025, bringing together local officials, project partners, and Unified Bank leadership and team members to commemorate the completion of the new facility. Everson expressed his appreciation to City Officials and the Wheeling City Council for their support throughout the planning and construction process.
“We are proud of the strong relationships we have built in this community over many years in serving the Ohio Valley,” Everson added. “Wheeling is a vibrant market, and we look forward not only to strengthening the service we provide to our long-standing customers, but also introducing many new customers to the Unified Way.”
The building was designed by Solidus, a banking industry planning, design, and construction management firm based in East Hartford, Connecticut, and constructed with the support of numerous local businesses and tradespeople. The project reached completion in the fourth quarter of 2025, on schedule for Unified Bank’s year-end opening.
Community members are invited to stop by the new Wheeling Banking Center during the Bank’s flexible business hours to experience firsthand the convenience and service the new facility brings to the region. Both the banking center and drive-up will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm and Saturday from 8:30am to 12:00pm.
