WesBanco Sells Credit Card Portfolio
WHEELING, WV - WesBanco today announced the sale of its credit card portfolio
to an Atlanta, Georgia based financial service company.

The credit card receivables of approximately $15 million have been sold to
Inficorp, a company that does business only in credit cards. WesBanco and
Inficorp have entered into an agent bank arrangement in which Inficorp will
offer its credit card products to WesBanco customers using the WesBanco name.
Current WesBanco credit card customers will be able to continue using their
existing cards.

Kristine N. Molnar, President and CEO of WesBanco Wheeling, said, "Over the
last ten years, the credit card business has become volume driven due to the
concentration that has taken place in the industry. Now that the credit card
business has become one of scale, it is difficult for small and medium size
companies to provide competitive customer service enhancements. Our
partnership with Inficorp makes it possible for us to offer the best credit
card products available to our customers. The arrangement is one in which
WesBanco and our customers will benefit."

Molnar said, "WesBanco was an early entry in the credit card business. We
began selling BankAmericard products and services in 1969. Since we have
been in the business for so long, we are pleased that the WesBanco name will
continue to be associated with a credit card program. We are equally pleased
to announce that Inficorp will also honor all rates and terms currently in
place on WesBanco credit

card products, including our Good Neighbor Banking Program rate discount. Now
that the sale is complete, we can begin working to provide additional
features through our new credit card affiliation." She added that the hours
of toll-free customer service will be greatly expanded and that other product
enhancements will be made.

Molnar continued, "The sale of the credit cards will provide WesBanco with
a gain of approximately $3 million. The sale will allow us to invest the
financial resources associated with credit cards in more profitable earning
assets such as commercial and consumer loans. These factors, along with the
elimination of credit card charge-offs and outside processing fees, will be
beneficial in both the short and long-terms to WesBanco shareholders."
