Middleburg Bank, a Division of Access National Bank, Welcomes Vickie Hanel as Manager of Purcellville Financial Service Center

Middleburg Bank, a division of Access National Bank (collectively, "Access”), has hired Vickie Hanel to lead its Purcellville Financial Service Center.

"I am honored to be part of the Access National and Middleburg Bank team,” Hanel said. "I have worked at large financial institutions and small community banks. After experiencing both cultures, I appreciate the community focus Access brings while delivering industry expertise to a growing market. With my return to my Virginia roots, I am thrilled to join not only the Bank, but also the Purcellville community where I have bought a home. I am privileged to live and work in this great town.”

Hanel recently moved to Purcellville after 13 years serving as a Regional Manager and Branch Administrator at a community bank in Charleston, South Carolina.

Her banking career spans 34 years, starting at Crestar Bank in her hometown of Lynchburg, where she worked in various positions until becoming her branch’s Assistant Manager. She left Crestar for a Branch Manager position at BB&T and later moved to South Carolina to pursue her goal to be a Regional Manager.

While in Charleston, Hanel worked at a community bank, helping develop retail banking infrastructure, training programs, deposit rates and marketing initiatives.

Additionally, Hanel participated in the Daniel Island Rotary Club in Charleston, and plans to join the Purcellville chapter. She has already become active with the Purcellville Business Association and the Loudoun Chamber of Commerce.

"With Vickie’s experience in various realms of the banking industry, our Loudoun County clients will benefit from utilizing her as a trusted advisor to help them achieve their financial goals,” Cindy Caldwell, SVP, Client Services for Access, said.
