FDIC-Insured - Backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government When your bank focuses on Community First! What is Community First ? It’s a mindset, a way of life, a commitment, a determination to make a positive difference in the communities in which we live and work.

“Community First” represents many ideas, thoughts and actions, but most importantly, it represents our future. The future of our communities is in our hands, and there’s no better way to secure our future than by putting the “Community First” in every decision we make and every action we take every day. Our job at Ohio Valley Bank is to help our community thrive.
