As financial decisions become increasingly complex, many high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners are looking for more than a traditional banking relationship.
They want a trusted advisor who understands their goals, anticipates their needs, and can provide customized solutions that evolve with their lives.
To meet that growing demand, Mid Penn Bank has expanded its private banking team with the addition of veteran financial services professional Mark Kessler as Senior Vice President and Regional Director of Private Banking.
Based at Mid Penn’s Malvern Administrative Center, Kessler will lead private banking efforts throughout the Greater Philadelphia region, helping clients access tailored banking and lending solutions designed around their unique financial objectives.
Whether clients are financing a home purchase, managing liquidity needs, planning for future generations, or navigating complex borrowing opportunities, MPB Private Bank offers a relationship-driven approach backed by local decision-making and personalized service.
“Mark understands the importance of building lasting relationships and helping clients navigate important financial decisions,” said Jordan Space, President of the Private Bank and Chief Revenue Officer of MPB Financial. “His experience serving high-net-worth clients will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow our Private Bank.”
Kessler brings nearly 20 years of experience helping clients manage financial opportunities and challenges. Most recently, he served as a Vice President with PNC Private Bank, where he worked closely with high-net-worth individuals and families throughout Philadelphia’s suburban markets. His expertise includes customized lending strategies, deposit solutions, and long-term relationship management.
His appointment reflects Mid Penn’s continued investment in serving affluent clients who value responsiveness, accessibility, and personalized financial guidance.
Unlike larger institutions where clients can feel like one of thousands, MPB Private Bank is built around understanding each client’s complete financial picture. The team works collaboratively to provide customized solutions that align with personal, family, and business goals while delivering the high-touch service clients expect.
Kessler earned a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Boston University. He has been part of the Greater Philadelphia Leadership Exchange, is involved with the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation, and volunteers with Extra Life Charity in support of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
For high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners seeking a more personalized banking experience, the growth of MPB Private Bank represents an expanded opportunity to work with experienced advisors who are focused on building long-term relationships and helping clients achieve their financial goals.
