Mission Statement and History
As financial institutions get larger through acquisitions and mergers,
their customers often find themselves further removed from the people
who make the decisions about their credit accommodations and products.
This can result in a breakdown in communication and an overall deterioration
in the delivery system of those services.
We see AVB as an alternative to the larger banks operating in our area. Our aim is to provide excellent service with the highest practical level of personal interaction to small businesses and individuals in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
Allegheny Valley Bank of Pittsburgh received approval from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to operate as a banking institution in October 1900. The first recorded meeting of Allegheny Valley Bank of Pittsburgh was held on November 2, 1900 in the office of Dr. Francis G. Gardiner at 4919 Butler Street, Pittsburgh. The bank was located at 5156 Butler Street and it opened its doors for business on Monday, November 26, 1900. In 1909, Allegheny Valley Bank was moved to its current location at 5137 Butler Street. One Hundred years later, Allegheny Valley Bank continues with the philosophy of our Founders; To provide a strong, independent bank that will meet the financial needs of the local families and businesses; To provide quality personal service; To understand and anticipate customer needs; To partner with the local small businesses. In other words, to be a Community Bank.
