WV Central continues to work to bring innovative financial services to our members and the community. Our primary goal is to provide tools and resources that will improve the financial well-being of consumers.

One of our newest services is the Student Loan Marketplace. The marketplace will provide a site for students to obtain new student loans and to refinance existing student loans. Students will be able to obtain access to the best student loan across multiple lenders in a matter of minutes. Offering a student loan option is just part of looking for ways to improve the financial status of members.

Central worked with members in 2024 to refinance loans that they took out at other lenders or at the point of sale at the car dealership. In 2024, many members have refinanced those loans at Central and have created savings of more than $1.3M.

In 2024, WV Central continued its practice to support local charities and our communities. During the last 12 months, over 200 groups received checks for more than $250,000.00.

Our Donor Advised Fund at the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation is up and running with our first groups of checks to 501 (C) organizations going out in October.

Improving our financial well-being is needed now more than ever! An article by MSN recently reported that 45% of Americans retiring at 65 will likely run out of money. Single female retirees face the highest risk at 55% followed by couples at 41% and single males at 40%. While working longer is recommended by some to improve financial security, working with WV Central to improve your financial nest egg can be extremely beneficial.

Please make WV Central your financial institution and allow us to work with you to improve your cash flow and help prepare you for the future and ensure that you and your family have a bright future!
