MVB continues to carve a niche in the fintech industry by making strategic investments in fintech companies. In April 2019, MVB announced that after a recent valuation of MVB's fintech investment portfolio, MVB recognized a pre-tax gain on its equity investment of $13.5 million that was recognized in the Second Quarter of 2019. This gain is what has allowed MVB to redeem the subordinated debt, and it creates a positive impact for shareholder value by not diluting with additional shares.
