A Message from Our President and CEO, Jim Fooskas

Hard to believe that the holiday season is fast approaching and 2026 is right around the corner. What a special time of the year! An opportunity to reflect on this year and what we accomplished and what we wish we would have done. Also, the time to look forward to a new year and make plans for the things we didn’t get around to doing this year. A time to enjoy the upcoming holidays and spend time with family, friends and loved ones. A time to consider what we can do to help others to make it a joyful season. No doubt, it’s a very busy time of the year with shopping, parties, parades, volunteering, decorating or just enjoying all the activity around you……. Phew…. I’m exhausted just writing about all this. Whatever makes your holidays special to you, we here at National Bank of Malvern hope you find it and take the time to enjoy every moment. As I have said time and time again, please remember to “shop local” and support local businesses, many of whom are our friends and neighbors. This time of the year is also the season of “Giving” and I would encourage those who are able to give, to not only “shop local” but to “give local.” Many of our local non-profits struggle to support those in need, especially during this time of the year.             

With everything going on during the holiday season, remember, The National Bank of Malvern is always here for you and wants to help you achieve your goals. Maybe a special Christmas vacation for the whole family, a new car, or planning for a new addition on your home next spring. No matter how big or small, NBM is here to help make it happen. Our loan officers are happy to help you with any goals or plans that you have.

A reminder that as the end of the year approaches and tax time is around the corner, you may want to be thinking about opening or adding to your IRA to get that deduction on your 2025 tax return. If you are selling investments for tax purposes before year end, you may want to consider putting the proceeds into a Certificate of Deposit. Check out our great rates.  

Stop in during the holidays, say hello to our staff, and see our annual display which is a vintage model car collection. If you can’t make it in don’t forget you can always use our online banking or our mobile app. Both are easy to use and available 24/7.    

All of us at The National Bank of Malvern wish you and your family a wonderful Holiday Season.
