FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

QNB Corp. Announces Website Address Change

 

 

Quakertown, PA (6 March 2014) – The Board of Directors of QNB Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: QNBC), parent company of QNB Bank, has announced it is changing its website address to www.qnbbank.com as part of the company’s ongoing online rebranding efforts.

 

 

“The full transition to QNB Bank has been a process that we have been purposefully rolling out over the past few years. Changing our website name is the next logical step in that process,” said David W. Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We want our online presence to be aligned for our most important group, our customers. With our customers in mind, we are putting every effort into ensuring the transition to www.qnbbank.com is completely uninterrupted and aligned with how QNB Bank is currently represented on other online platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. The end result will be less confusion for our customers who visit us online. As a proud independent community bank, this consistent presence is critical to our brand identity.”

 

 

The transition to the new website address is expected to occur over the next several months. Beginning on or about March 31, 2014, visitors to QNB Bank’s original site (www.qnb.com) will be redirected seamlessly to www.qnbbank.com. The redirection period will last until September 30, 2014 at which time the original site (www.qnb.com) will be taken out of service. Then, on December 31, 2014, ownership of the website address (www.qnb.com) will be transferred to Qatar National Bank who has agreed to purchase it from QNB Bank for $1,000,000.
