Whitesville State Bank was chartered by community minded individuals in June 1946
in Whitesville, WV as a state bank and member of FDIC. Big Coal River Bancorp, a one bank
holding company, was formed in 1986 and all bank shares were transferred to holding
company stock. The bank intends to remain independent and operate from our five
locations. We are aware that our banking franchise dictates a responsibility to our trading
community. We will always be mindful and supportive of our community while providing
the highest quality customer service available. We will develop and obtain the
technological products that are necessary to meet the needs of our customers in this
changing financial landscape. Our goal, as a community lender, is to meet the community’s
credit needs, to enhance our community’s economic and housing growth, and further the
development of future prosperity while protecting the interest of our shareholders. We
take seriously the safeguarding of our communities’ assets and will strive to achieve a safe
and sound operation for them to trust and be confident in. Wherever we have operations
and branches, we will strive to be a true community bank, a service-oriented community
partner that is here to serve and support the communities we operate in!
