MVB Bank, a West Virginia-headquartered institution, announced on August 10, 2026, a multi-year agreement with back-office automation FinTech Bretton AI. The partnership aims to outsource MVB’s operational compliance and due diligence capabilities.
Under the agreement, the Bretton AI platform will screen all of MVB’s transactions to identify and flag anomalies that do not align with the bank’s anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) policies and risk framework. Bretton AI will then deploy a regional team in the US to review every AI-assisted output before an alert is escalated to MVB. This strategy is intended to allow MVB to “expand capacity and consistency without increasing back-office headcount at the same rate as the business,” according to a joint statement.
This collaboration marks one of the initial public deals under Michael Giorgio, who was recently promoted to executive vice president (EVP) and chief information and operating officer (CIOO). Giorgio, who served as EVP and CIO for MVB since July 2023, saw his mandate expanded in April 2026 to include operations. Upon his promotion, MVB stated that Giorgio’s new role would support business operations “with a focus on compliance and regulatory needs.”
Founded in 1999, MVB Bank is the banking subsidiary of MVB Financial Corp. It provides a range of embedded finance, banking-as-a-service (BaaS), and payments infrastructure solutions, primarily serving clients in the FinTech, payments, and gaming sectors. The bank currently employs approximately 400 people and manages over $3.5 billion in assets.
