Univest Financial Corporation (Univest) opened its first region office in Maryland. The Greenspring Valley Financial Center, located at 10801 Tony Drive in Lutherville, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 23 attended by Univest executives as well as local officials and local business professionals.
Jeffrey Schweitzer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Univest Financial Corporation, and Matt Cohen, Maryland Market President at Univest, gave remarks at the ceremony. The newly opened regional office will initially focus on meeting the lending and banking needs of local businesses and consumers. As Univest continues to build its presence in the market, it will offer its full suite of financial products and services including mortgage lending, wealth management, insurance and equipment leasing.
“The opening of the Greenspring Valley Financial Center demonstrates our commitment to serving Baltimore and the surrounding region,” said Schweitzer. “We’re thrilled to have a great team in place led by Matt Cohen, Market President. The team brings extensive experience providing the local community with financial solutions and we are excited to see the positive impact they will have as they bring Univest’s relationship-focused approach and commitment to the community here to Maryland.”
There are currently five industry veterans working in the Greenspring Valley Financial Center under the leadership of Cohen. Maryland banking veteran, Eleni Monios, is serving as Regional Credit Officer and brings 30 years of experience to her role. The team also includes Charlie Camp, Commercial Lending Team Leader, Tracy Hall, Commercial Lending Relationship Manager, Tiffany Mink, Sr. Relationship Administrator, and Rosa Scharf, SBA Lending Relationship Manager. Univest is actively seeking committed financial professionals to join the growing team and provide comprehensive solutions for the financial needs of local businesses, nonprofits and consumers.

Staying true to Univest’s entrepreneurial spirit, we are committed to forming collaborative relationships aimed at helping local businesses grow,” said Cohen. “We continue to build a team of hardworking professionals who serve our customers with a personal touch that is supported by sophisticated digital capabilities.”
