### Potomac Bancshares Announces Quarterly Cash Dividend Amidst Growing Recognition

Potomac Bancshares, Inc., the holding company for Potomac Bank, recently declares a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share, set to be distributed to shareholders of record on February 5, 2026. This announcement not only highlights the bank's commitment to returning value to its shareholders but also reflects its stable financial standing, with assets nearing $962 million as of September 30, 2025. The dividend payout, scheduled for February 12, 2026, comes at a time when the bank is enjoying a strong reputation within its operational regions, which include parts of West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia.

The rebranding of Potomac Bank from its original name, Bank of Charles Town, in November 2025, marks a significant milestone in the institution's history. This transition aims to modernize the bank's identity while retaining its long-standing community roots, as it has been serving customers since 1871. The bank operates through a network of eight branches and offers a diverse range of financial services. These include commercial loans, agricultural loans, and a robust residential lending division that provides various mortgage products. Moreover, Potomac Bank is recognized as a Small Business Administration (SBA) Preferred Lender, reinforcing its commitment to supporting small businesses in the region.

Potomac Bank's reputation is further bolstered by its accolades, including being named "Loudoun's Favorite" in the 2025 LoudounNow readers' poll and receiving recognition as a "Best of the Best" winner in the Martinsburg Journal-News Readers' Choice Awards. Additionally, American Banker acknowledges Potomac Bank as one of the "Top 200 Community Banks" in the U.S. for institutions with assets under $2 billion, reflecting its operational excellence. The bank's Trust and Wealth division, which has been a key player in financial management and estate services for over 70 years, continues to contribute to its standing as a respected community institution.

In the competitive landscape of banking, Potomac Bank's commitment to quality service and community engagement sets it apart. Recognized five times since 2019 as a "Best Bank to Work For," the bank emphasizes its dedication not only to its customers but also to creating a positive work environment for its employees. As it continues to grow and adapt, Potomac Bank remains focused on maintaining strong relationships with both its clients and its community.

With its recent dividend announcement and ongoing recognition, Potomac Bancshares is well-positioned to enhance its influence in the regional banking sector, while fostering a supportive environment for local businesses and communities. For more information, visit their website at www.potomac.bank.
