Our bank was chartered in 1874, one of the first four banks created in West Virginia.

Rooted in community. Committed to you.

We are fiercely proud to be an independent community bank. Every action we take and decision we make focuses on what's best for our customers, our neighbors. The people you see when you visit a First Community Bank branch are the people you see at local festivals, youth sporting events, town meetings and church functions. We're all part of the same community, and we're dedicated to always doing right by you.

Our History

First Community Bank’s roots reach back to 1874. For more than 150 years, our story has been connected to the people, businesses, and communities we serve. Banking needs have changed considerably over that time, but the reasons people turn to a bank remain familiar: a place to safeguard their savings, a partner to help finance an opportunity, and someone they can count on when an important financial decision comes along.

Over the years, we have grown to serve more communities and offer a broader range of financial services. That growth has expanded our ability to help customers through the different stages of their lives—from opening a first checking account and buying a home to building a business and planning for retirement. Each relationship brings its own goals, questions, and circumstances. Understanding those differences is central to the way we approach community banking.

Today, First Community Bank combines personal service with the tools and convenience customers expect from a modern bank. Digital banking makes it easier to manage everyday finances, while our bankers provide a human connection when customers need guidance, have a question, or want to talk through their next step. We believe both belong in a banking relationship: convenient access and people who take the time to help.

Our history is also a reminder that a bank’s future is closely connected to the future of its communities. The homes we help finance, the businesses we support, and the relationships we build are part of the places we call home. As we look ahead, we remain focused on sound banking, thoughtful growth, and helping our customers and communities prosper.

Since 1874, much has changed. Our commitment to community banking continues.
