We have all the products to serve your banking needs, delivered by the same customer service and lending staff you have come to enjoy at Riverside,” Clem Rosenberger, president & CEO of NexTier Bank, said.

Many Riverside team members have remained, including the founder and president of Riverside Travis Sanders. Sanders will be leading the Central Ohio team as the Columbus regional president.

“Riverside was built on the principle of delivering exceptional customer service and I am pleased to join with NexTier Bank to lead the effort in continuing to deliver on our service-level promise,” Sanders said.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors and Shareholders, Riverside Bank of Dublin is proud of the award-winning organization established to serve Central Ohio. The merger of our two organizations will continue the “First Class Service” Riverside is known for. NexTier is a fine organization that has identified a great opportunity to expand their banking franchise in Ohio’s Capital City,” said Charles O’rin Moore, Chief Executive Officer of Riverside Bank of Dublin.

The operational merger between NexTier and Riverside is expected to occur in November.
