MVB Financial Corp. Announces Strategic Sale of Victor Technologies to Jack Henry & Associates

MVB Financial Corp. (“MVB” or “MVB Financial”) (NASDAQ: MVBF), the holding company for MVB Bank, Inc. (the “Bank”), announced today that it has signed and closed a definitive agreement to sell substantially all assets and operations of Victor Technologies, Inc. (“Victor”) to Jack Henry & Associates (“Jack Henry”) (NASDAQ: JKHY) (the “Transaction”) effective September 30, 2025.

The Transaction is expected to generate a pre-tax gain of approximately $33 million to MVB, delivering significant returns on a Fintech company founded just four years ago in 2021 and incubated within MVB. The Transaction is expected to be accretive to MVB’s earnings per share, driven by improved cost structure and lower overhead expense going forward. In addition, the Transaction will provide MVB with greater flexibility to pursue certain balance sheet and capital management strategies, which may include a repositioning of some portion of the available-for-sale securities portfolio, share repurchases and/or other capital and earnings optimization strategies aimed at enhancing shareholder value over time.

Victor processes billions of dollars in payments monthly and exemplifies MVB’s strategy of building Fintech companies rather than simply banking them. Jack Henry’s 7,400 clients will strengthen Victor’s growth while MVB maintains a strategic partnership to continue participating in Victor’s success.

“This transaction validates our thesis that MVB can create substantial shareholder value by building world-class Fintech solutions,” said MVB President and CEO Larry F. Mazza. “We’ve taken Victor from concept to processing billions in monthly payments, and now we’re positioning it for strong growth through Jack Henry’s resources—while maintaining our strategic partnership.”

Partnership Ensures Continued Benefits

MVB’s ongoing partnership with Victor and Jack Henry will continue to provide customers with embedded payment solutions while realizing immediate value and participating in Victor’s accelerated growth.

“We’re not walking away – we are doubling down through the development of a reimaged partnership. Greg Adelson, CEO of Jack Henry, is a visionary and trusted partner,” Mazza explained. “Additionally, our shareholders realize immediate returns, our clients get enhanced capabilities, and we continue to benefit from Victor’s success and growth as part of Jack Henry.”

Victor’s embedded payments platform already serves Jack Henry’s clients with real-time payment processing, virtual ledgering and regulatory compliance solutions.

“This acquisition positions us to expand our reach across Jack Henry’s client network and fast-track the delivery of next-generation payment technologies.” said Victor President Maf Sonko.

Proven Fintech Builder Strategy

This transaction demonstrates MVB’s successful Fintech incubation model, proving traditional financial institutions can build and scale Fintech solutions while generating substantial returns. The deal positions MVB to continue building next-generation Fintech solutions.

MJC Partners served as financial advisor and Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP served as legal advisor to MVB and Victor. Stinson LLP served as legal advisor to Jack Henry.
