Most direct comparable: similar community-bank footprint in the WV/southern-Appalachian market with comparable deposit-gathering and small-business lending focus.
• First Bank (Charles Town, WV): West Virginia community bank providing personal and business banking services including mortgages and deposits. Directly comparable in size, geography (rural WV), and product mix to Pioneer Community Bank.
• Miners & Merchants Bank: Community bank serving southern West Virginia with branches in coal-country counties. Highly comparable: similar rural WV footprint, mining-region customer base, and community-banking model focused on deposits and consumer lending.
• Capon Valley Bank: Small West Virginia community bank offering traditional personal and business banking products. Comparable as a small, rural-focused WV community bank with a similar product set and local relationship-based GTM.

Broad incumbents

• United Bank (Charleston, WV): West Virginia's largest community bank and a recurring acquirer of smaller WV community banks. Comparable as a broader-incumbent community banking competitor with overlap in southern WV, but larger and offering a wider product portfolio.
• Truist Financial Corporation: Major U.S. regional bank with a meaningful branch network across the Mid-Atlantic/Southeast U.S. Comparable as a broad incumbent that competes with Pioneer for deposits, mortgages, and small-business banking across WV with deeper resources and broader product mix.

• Fiserv (technology peer): Core technology vendor providing Pioneer's mobile banking, online banking, and digital infrastructure. Relevant as an 'OTHERS' ecosystem peer whose platform capabilities and pricing directly shape Pioneer's customer experience and operating costs.
