Community Bank is proud to announce Benjamin Siebert as the new Regional President for Southwest Pennsylvania, serving Greene and Fayette Counties. Siebert is a lifelong resident of Fayette County and has a strong background in banking and economic development. He is proud to serve the local community in a place he calls home.

“I’m from Hopwood, and I’ve been a lifelong resident of Fayette County,” said Siebart. “I have no plans of leaving anytime soon.”

A career in banking was a natural fit for Siebert, who enjoys working with numbers but also loves forming trusting relationships with people in the community, helping them feel secure in their finances.

“An individual’s finances are an important part of their lives, and I’m happy to help navigate them in any way I can,” he says.

Siebert has worked in different roles in the banking industry for more than sixteen years, specifically lending and finance. He started his career at a finance company specializing in personal, auto, and home equity loans. He later moved into mortgage originations at a credit union in the Mon Valley before joining Community Bank in 2015. In his first stint at Community Bank, Siebert developed expertise in business and commercial lending.

From there, Siebart accepted a role with a larger bank in Pittsburgh as an AVP, Commercial Relationship Manager, followed by five years in the nonprofit sector managing an economic development loan portfolio focused on Fayette County businesses. Now, he returns to Community Bank with a wealth of experience and enthusiasm.

“I’m happy to be back at Community Bank in my current role as Regional President of Southwest PA,” Siebart said. “There was certainly a level of familiarity for me. Although there are a lot of new faces at the bank, they maintain strong core values and culture.”

Community Bank has a longstanding history in Greene and Fayette Counties. Founded in Carmichaels, Pennsylvania in 1901, the bank continues to grow in an industry ruled by larger corporate banks.

“It’s incredibly impressive for a small community bank to maintain independence and grow after 124 years,” Siebert said. “We’re small enough to provide great service with local people, but we also have the technology and capability of our larger counterparts. I’m excited for our future.”

Siebert’s first plans in his new position is to meet with as many customers as possible to better understand their needs and how Community Bank can serve them best.

“I inherited a portfolio of customers in my geographic region, so I plan to meet with as many of them as I can,” he explains. “Ultimately, I’d like to grow our market share and make sure our bank is in the conversation when needs arise.” Siebert considers his familiarity with the area as an asset to his job.

“Being local and knowing the lay of the land could be beneficial in my role,” he says. “While I am always still learning, my banking and lending background will be helpful. I have a lot of impressive colleagues that are able and willing to help me grow in my new role as well.”

He’s also passionate about giving back. “I’m an Executive Board member of the Industrial Development Authority in Fayette County, a Loan Review Committee member for the Southwest Pennsylvania Commission, and I enjoy being part of our local chamber of commerce events,” Siebart said. “I enjoy volunteering my time for different organizations and nonprofits in the community when I can.”

Siebert enjoys being part of the community and serving his friends, neighbors, and local businesses. “I enjoy the close knit feel of community banking,” he said. “Many of my colleagues live, work, and play in the communities we serve, so they are passionate about helping others. We truly care about our customers and their banking needs.”

As he steps into his new role, Siebart has a simple message: “Community Bank is open for business!”
