United Bancorp Inc

Over the course of 2025 and into the current year, we have and continue to make a tremendous investment in technology. With our enhanced technological product offering, we now have more customers than ever utilizing our consumer and commercial online and mobile platforms and benefitting from these advanced solutions that we offer… which has and will continue to lead to more relationship building and revenue generating opportunities for UBCP. Importantly, we have begun developing and are soon to implement an AI solution designed to help us better serve customers by answering inquiries more efficiently and effectively… guiding customers to the best financial solutions and supporting a more modern, customer-centric approach to delivery. To further supplement this aforementioned AI solution, we are presently in the process of implementing a system specializing in omnichannel account opening, that will allow our Company to fully digitize the account opening process through online, mobile and in-branch platforms… enabling customers, both business and consumer, to open all deposit accounts and most services in person and virtually. These enhanced systems will be housed in our soon-to-open Unified Center (which is located in St. Clairsville, Ohio) and will help support our Unified Care Center that will also be housed at this facility. The Unified Care Center will centralize the customer service function of our Company with team members that are highly skilled and more capable of providing a complete and satisfying “Unified Experience” to customers from any technology platform… via a live video interface. In addition, the Unified Care Center will have a “sales oriented” function, which is anticipated to lead to additional business for our Company by routing inbound banking inquiries and requests from any banking channel to our Unified Care Center, for “in person” consultations with our skilled team members. By having a centralized customer support function staffed with skilled sales and service professionals who are truly “subject matter experts,” we believe that we will be able to more effectively and efficiently attract, develop and retain customer relationships with more productive on-boarding and cross-selling practices--- which is anticipated to lead to a higher level of customer satisfaction and overall profitability for UBCP. We anticipate that all of these new technology and support functions will be fully implemented by year-end and believe that the Unified Care Center has the potential to develop into a bona-fide “digital bank” for our Company, which will more readily support our growth and profitability objectives in the coming years!

· Technology, Digital Transformation, and Omni-Channel Delivery: We made a tremendous investment in technology in 2025 to meet changing customer needs and to attract new customers to our Company. Importantly, we also began implementing an artificial intelligence (AI) solution designed to better serve customers by answering inquiries more effectively, guiding customers to the best financial solutions, and supporting more modern, customer-centric delivery.

· Unified Center – St. Clairsville, Ohio: We acquired and began developing a property that will become the Unified Center, which will house our Accounting, Information Technology, and Customer Sales and Service functions. This initiative will help centralize and elevate customer support with highly skilled team members capable of delivering a more complete and satisfying “Unified Experience.” This center will also include a sales-oriented function—supported by our AI solution—that routes inbound inquiries from any channel to skilled professionals to improve onboarding, cross-selling, and relationship expansion. The renovation of the Unified Center is expected to be completed by mid-2026, with the customer-centric support solutions rollout by year-end.

Once again, last year, this newer division helped our Company produce higher levels of fee income and, as we continue to scale this function more fully, we believe it will only become more lucrative for us. We have also become more focused on developing our Treasury Management function, which focusses on helping our small business customers with cash management, merchant services and payments. Not only does this developing department within our Company help generate higher levels of fee income, it also is key to helping us grow our no or low-cost deposit base… both of which lead to increased profitability. Also, over the course of the past year, UBCP has made a tremendous investment in the area of technology as we focus on digital transformation and omni-channel delivery, which will ensure that we meet the changing needs of our customer base and attract new customers to our Company. We are also in the process of implementing an artificial intelligence (AI) solution, which will help us better serve our customers by more effectively and efficiently responding to and answering customer inquiries on their terms and guiding them to the best financial solutions that better meet their current and changing needs. Lastly, we acquired a property in St. Clairsville, Ohio, which will be known as the Unified Center, that will house the Accounting, Technology and Customer Support functions of our Company. As UBCP has grown and evolved over the course of the past several years (and, as we continue to do so), we have had a need for a facility such as this. We are most excited about the Customer Support function that we are developing at the Unified Center, which will centralize the service function of our Company with team members that are highly skilled and more capable of providing a complete and satisfying “Unified Experience” to our valued customers. In addition, it will have a sales-oriented function, which is anticipated to lead to additional business for our Company (with the help of our AI-solution) by routing inbound inquiries from any banking channel to skilled sales professionals. This process will focus on the attraction and expansion of relationships through more effective on-boarding and cross-selling practices, which will lead to the sale of additional products and services to both our existing and newly prospected customers through this much more efficient and effective delivery channel. The renovation of the Unified Center should be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2026 and we will be ready to begin launching our new and exciting customer-centric solutions later on in this new year.
