Paragon Bank today announced it is now operational in seven states, with the addition of Kin Kinney as Oxford Market President. Kinney will report to Robert Shaw, Chief Executive Officer at Paragon Bank.

“Paragon has a strong history in the town of Oxford, and we’re excited to have our first team member living in the area,” said Shaw. “There is a healthy, competitive market in Oxford, and we are confident in Kin’s ability to grow our presence and provide the high level of service that Paragon prides itself on.”
