This location is the bank’s fifth branch in Schuylkill County.
The Orwigsburg office will operate as Miners Bank, a division of Mid Penn Bank, and the addition extends the company’s footprint to include 23 branches in Central Pennsylvania. The location is expected to employ three to five team members, including area banking veterans Mark Ketch and Karen Kenderdine, to fulfill personal banking, business banking, trust and lending needs.
“The Schuylkill County community has welcomed and embraced our presence, and we look forward to providing them with the exceptional banking services they deserve” said Mid Penn Bank President and CEO Rory G. Ritrievi. “Our local team members understand the needs of Orwigsburg residents and are delighted to be joining the community to introduce individuals, businesses and organizations to our widely embraced style of community banking.”
The bank’s other Schuylkill County locations include Minersville, Frackville, Tremont and Tower City.
In addition to traditional branch banking, Mid Penn also offers online banking, mobile banking and telephone banking to provide customers with on-the-go, instant account access.
Mid Penn Bank also has plans to begin developing and constructing a branch in Halifax, Dauphin County, in 2017 (pending township and regulatory approvals). Mid Penn is also party to a merger agreement with The Scottdale Bank & Trust Company, which operates five branches in western Pennsylvania.
