Clear Mountain Bank earns 87th Consecutive Bauer Financial 5-Star Rating

ONLINE AND MOBILE BANKING UNAVAILABLE OCTOBER 3-7

We are quickly approaching the launch of our NEW upgraded digital banking services on October 7! As we prepare for the upgrade, our current platform will be unavailable for use between October 3 - October 7. This includes BizLink, SmartLink, and the mobile app.

This means you will not be able to access the bank’s online or mobile banking services during this time, as we transition to the bank’s new digital banking platform. Access to online and mobile banking systems will be restored on October 7th when we launch our new platform.

In the meantime, we will be offering extended customer service hours on Saturday, October 4 from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m., which you may contact by calling 304-379-2265. If you would need to check your balance outside of business hours, you may use our EasyLine Telephone Banking, which will not be affected. You can check that out here: EasyLine Telephone Banking

Bruceton Mills, West Virginia - June 2025: BauerFinancial, Inc., the Nation’s Premier Bank Rating Firm, is pleased to acknowledge Clear Mountain Bank, Bruceton Mills, WV, for its continued 5-Star status. June 2025 marks the 87th consecutive quarter that Clear Mountain Bank has earned this distinction, which gives it the added prestige of being a “Exceptional Performance Bank”. Only banks that have earned and maintained this highest 5-Star rating for 10 years (40 consecutive quarters), or longer, may claim this distinction. This latest rating is based on March 31, 2025 financial data and signifies that Clear Mountain Bank continues to be one of the strongest banks in the nation.

“Community bankers are typically the best positioned to understand and quantify local markets and needs,” asserts Karen L. Dorway, president of BauerFinancial. “This includes real estate market values and fluctuations, small business needs (and impediments), and even how consumers are faring personally in their corner of the country. This makes perfect sense,” Dorway continues. “Community bankers live in your neighborhood, which means they can provide faster, personalized service. They also serve a smaller, more defined market area than bigger banks. No need for red tape, just results – from one neighbor to another.”

Clear Mountain Bank has been taking pride in its contribution to the local betterment since its inception more than 130 years ago. Clear Mountain Bank is not just a bank; it is where you can find your neighbors and friends, willing and able to bank on a better future, with you.
