Bank of McKenney and Citizens Community Bank Unite to Become Touchstone Bank

McKenney, Va. (Sept. 26, 2017) - Bank of McKenney and Citizens Community Bank announced today that upon completion of their merger, which is expected to occur before the end of the year, the banks plan to join forces under a new name and brand: Touchstone Bank.

Executives of both banks expressed enthusiasm for the new identity and what it means for shareholders and customers in their combined service areas that extend from central and southern Virginia to northern North Carolina.

“In the past, a touchstone was used to test the purity of gold and silver. Today, anything that tests the standard of quality is considered a touchstone,” said James R. Black, President and CEO of CCB Bankshares, Inc., parent company of Citizens Community Bank. “The name is a perfect cultural fit for our new community bank and represents the quality standards upon which we will operate. Our customers and shareholders deserve and expect a high-quality community bank and the name Touchstone Bank keeps our strategic objective in focus.”

Richard Liles, President and CEO of the Bank of McKenney, added, “This exciting brand aligns with our shared commitment to provide all customers with exceptional, ‘high touch’ service by a trusted team of experienced, local personnel. Together, our banks have been building a legacy for over 125 years and we’ll make history again this year as Touchstone Bank.”

The new name is subject to Bank of McKenney shareholder approval and completion of the proposed merger.
