Jim Thorpe, PA, August 27, 2026 – Mauch Chunk Trust Company (MCT) is proud to announce that President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick H. Reilly has received the Pennsylvania Bankers Association’s Fifty Years in Banking Award, recognizing his 50-year career in the banking industry.
The PBA recognition honors Pennsylvania banking professionals who have demonstrated long-term dedication, leadership and impact during five decades of service. It recognizes contributions to financial institutions and the broader Pennsylvania banking community, as well as support for industry advancement, community engagement and professional mentorship.

Following Reilly’s retirement, Nicole Barbaro, MCT’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will become the bank’s Chief Executive Officer. Barbaro was previously announced as Reilly’s successor as part of MCT’s planned leadership transition.
Mauch Chunk Trust Company congratulates Reilly on this significant professional achievement and his contributions to the organization.
