The bank’s net income was $109.5 million for the full year 2018, compared to $87.3 million for the same period in 2017.

“Our success in 2018 is the result of many factors, none more important than our bankers’ unwavering dedication and consistent hard work. From our most tenured bankers to our newest colleagues, each person played a critical role in producing excellent results,” said Park CEO David L. Trautman.

Charlotte-based NewDominion Bank joined Park on July 1. On September 13, Park announced a definitive agreement and plan of merger and reorganization with CAB Financial based in Spartanburg, SC.
