How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.
Fayette County, West Virginia has a close-knit economy shaped by outdoor tourism, small-scale construction, and longtime family-owned businesses. If you are a solo contractor, a gig worker, or a small real-estate investor here, personal financing can open doors — but only if you work with lenders who understand your local reality. This guide names real local institutions that serve Fayette County residents, walks you through the documents you will likely need, and clearly points out the traps to avoid. Origen Capital is a directory, not a lender — we never collect your personal information.

None of this is set by a lender. West Virginia sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.

What the state takes off what you earn, before anyone works out what payment you can carry.

- COST OF LIVING87.7
