As Chattanooga continues to grow into a hub for small businesses,
innovation, and community-driven progress, entrepreneurs and business
owners need more than just a bank—they need a trusted financial partner.
Mountain Valley Bank, now proudly serving Hamilton County and located at
5942 Reagan Ln. in Ooltewah, Tennessee, brings more than 120 years of
experience and commitment to the table.
Established in 1905 in the corner of the Moore Hotel in Dunlap, Tennessee,
Mountain Valley Bank began as Sequatchie County Bank: a home-owned
independent institution built on relationships, trust, and community values.
In 2001, our name changed to Mountain Valley Bank to reflect our growing
service area, but our mission remained the same: to serve and invest in our
neighbors.
Today, as a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we
are more committed than ever to promoting economic revitalization in rural
and underserved communities across Middle and East Tennessee.
