WHEELING, W.Va. – WesBanco on Tuesday announced the expansion of its services in two major and growing Tennessee markets.
WesBanco, which acquired Premier Bank earlier this year, will open a commercial loan production office in Knoxville and an additional retail banking center in Chattanooga, WesBanco’s first in the state.
These expansions will build on the momentum WesBanco has established in Tennessee through its Nashville and Chattanooga commercial LPOs, according to the announcement.
The bank’s expansion includes promoting Adam Thomas to regional president for Tennessee. Thomas was serving as city president of the Chattanooga LPO, which opened in Aug. 2023. The Chattanooga LPO significantly grew WesBanco’s presence in the region, and the team grew from four to 14 skilled bankers and established a community advisory board to better align with local needs.
Headquartered in Wheeling, W.Va., WesBanco has $27.5 billion in total assets, with Trust and Investment Services holding $7.7 billion in assets under management and securities account values of $2.6 billion as of Sept. 30.
