A 5-Star Superior rating indicates that Mountain Valley Bank, N.A. is one of the strongest banks in the nation, excelling in areas of capital, loan quality, profitability and more.

This marks the 140th consecutive quarter that Mountain Valley Bank, N.A. has earned this top rating, which secures it an even more elite status as a “Best of Bauer Bank,” an honor reserved solely for banks that have maintained a 5-Star rating for 25 years or longer.

“Rules and regulations are being retooled, technology is advancing at lightning speed, and it’s easy to feel like you’re getting lost in the fray.

“People don’t want to feel like that at their bank. When they walk into a branch, they want to feel confident that their deposits are safe, that all rules are being followed, and that their banker understands their specific needs. That’s why it’s so important to have 5-Star rated (Superior) banks, like Mountain Valley Bank, N.A., in our communities. We can be confident that they have our hard-earned deposits properly secured.”
