MVB Financial has acquired a fintech consulting firm Chartwell Compliance for an undisclosed amount.

Headquartered in Bethesda of Maryland, Chartwell Compliance will now operate independently as a wholly-owned subsidiary of MVB Bank.

MVB Financial president and CEO Larry F. Mazza said: “With our shared vision of the future of financial services, respect for compliance, regulation, safety and soundness and belief in doing the right things, MVB Bank and Chartwell Compliance are a perfect fit as trusted partners.

“With this synergy, our relationship will bring new ‘blue ocean’ opportunities for both MVB and Chartwell.

“Additionally, with Chartwell we have turned a traditional banking cost centre into a profit centre that will benefit MVB, our clients and our shareholders.”

The acquired firm provides integrated regulatory compliance, financial crimes prevention, state licensing and enterprise risk management services.
