PERKASIE, PA (December 2025) – Penn Community Bank, the largest independent mutual bank in eastern Pennsylvania, has once again been recognized as one of America’s Best Regional Bank’s & Credit Unions for 2026 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group. This marks the third consecutive year the Bank has earned this distinction.

The annual ranking evaluates thousands of regional banks and credit unions across the United States, incorporating in-depth research, customer surveys, and millions of online reviews. The recognition highlights institutions that are committed to powering local economies by supporting small businesses, financing community projects, and providing reliable access to everyday banking services.

“This repeat recognition reflects the trust our customers place in us. At Penn Community Bank, we believe banking should be personal, reliable, and rooted in community. I’m incredibly proud of our team for consistently delivering an experience that earns that trust – year after year,” says Jeane M. Vidoni, President and CEO of Penn Community Bank.

More than 8,800 banks and credit unions were considered in the initial review – drawing on over 140,000 respondents and customer reviews that served as accounts for customer service, benefits, consistency, and more. Additionally, over 80 million social media and app store reviews were evaluated, providing a holistic view of performance across both physical locations and digital platforms. This comprehensive research has made this award one of the largest studies of its kind.

“More than financial service providers, credit unions are community partners, showing up in neighborhoods, participating in local initiatives and helping strengthen the connections that bind their members together. We hope this list helps you find the most trusted financial institutions in your area – whether you’re planning your next business venture or taking your next step toward financial security,” says Jennifer H. Cunningham, Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek.

PERKASIE, PA (November 2025) – Penn Community Bank, the largest independent mutual bank in eastern Pennsylvania, is proud to announce the launch of Operation Greater Good Food Drive, a community-wide effort running from November 5 through December 17 to address the growing issue of food insecurity across the region.

Developed and mobilized quickly in response to an immediate and heightened community need, the initiative reflects the bank’s ongoing commitment to supporting the Greater Good and uplifting local families during challenging times.

The initiative takes a three-pronged approach to making a meaningful impact:

1. Food Collection:  All Penn Community Bank financial centers across Bucks, Montgomery, and Lehigh Counties will serve as collection sites for non-perishable food donations. Community members are encouraged to drop off shelf-stable items such as canned vegetables, soups, pasta, rice, and cereals.
2. Corporate Giving:  Penn Community Bank is making a $10,000 contribution to the Bucks County Opportunity Council (BCOC), a leading agency addressing food insecurity throughout the region. The funds will help BCOC secure a bulk food order for distribution to local pantries and partner organizations.
3. Grocery Store Gift Cards:  Working alongside regional food banks, Penn Community Bank will provide grocery store gift cards to support families with immediate needs. The initiative is strengthened through a partnership with Sagefrog Marketing Group, a Doylestown-based firm joining the effort to make additional grocery gift cards available.

“As a community mutual bank, our work goes far beyond the boardroom—it’s about showing up and supporting our neighbors, especially during times of greater need,” said Jeane M. Vidoni, President and CEO of Penn Community Bank. “Operation Greater Good Food Drive is another example of how we live out our mission.”

“For us, joining our community partners shoulder-to-shoulder in times of need is paramount,” added Bernard Tynes, Executive Vice President and Chief Consumer Banking Officer. “Through the Operation Greater Good Food Drive, we’re uniting our team members, customers, and partners to fill tables, strengthen families, and build the greater good this holiday season.”

These combined efforts are expected to support thousands of families and individuals throughout Penn Community Bank’s service area, reinforcing the bank’s longstanding commitment to the Greater Good Banking philosophy—empowering communities through compassion, collaboration, and collective impact.

PERKASIE, PA (August 2025) – Penn Community Bank, the largest independent mutual bank in eastern Pennsylvania, is proud to announce the promotion and hiring of two senior leaders to guide its growing presence in the Lehigh Valley.

The bank has long supported the region’s economic growth through Commercial & Industrial (C&I) lending and Commercial Real Estate (CRE) lending. In 2024, Penn Community Bank deepened its investment in the Lehigh Valley by opening new financial centers in Allentown and Bethlehem. Building on that momentum, the bank has strengthened its leadership team with the addition of two highly respected financial professionals with deep roots in the region:

With more than 20 years of financial services experience at large regional banks, Marcus has consistently delivered results in retail and small-to-mid-sized business development. He also serves the community through leadership roles with organizations such as Muhlenberg College’s Board of Advisors, the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, the American Baptist Foundation, and Nehemiah Wall.

“Khris brings a wealth of experience and leadership to the commercial banking sector. His knowledge and commitment to the markets we serve make him an excellent fit to further strengthen our thriving Lehigh Valley team,” said Lewis Cyr, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer.
