Fidelity Bank announced it has promoted Joseph Silva to President from his current role as the Bank’s Executive Vice President, Chief Lending Officer. As President, Silva will be responsible for driving the growth and success of Fidelity Bank across all markets and oversee all client services while also driving the Bank’s community engagement and philanthropic efforts.

“Joe embodies our LifeDesign Banking brand promise in a way that few others have,” said Ed Manzi, Jr., chairman and CEO, Fidelity Bank. “He is a true advocate for our clients, our communities, and our colleagues, and his ability to lead with care, collaboration, and competence makes him the perfect candidate to take on this role at this moment in Fidelity Bank’s journey.”

The promotion comes following the retirement of Christopher W. McCarthy last year. Silva began working at Fidelity Bank in May 2021 as Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Banking Officer, and was promoted to Executive Vice President, Chief Lending Officer in 2022.

Since 2022, Silva has led the commercial, mortgage, and consumer lending business and had an important role in strategic development, including the ongoing integration of the mutual holding company with Cape Cod 5. He also has executive leadership responsibility for the Exchange Authority, a Section 1031 qualified intermediary wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity Bank. Silva has also consistently engaged within the community, volunteering of his time and attending events to support clients and colleagues alike. Prior to Fidelity Bank, he worked at Pawtucket Credit Union and Bank Rhode Island in various lending roles.

“Fidelity Bank is known for its unwavering commitment to delivering on our LifeDesign promise—providing care, clarity, and confidence to our clients, colleagues, and communities,” said Silva. “As President, I am dedicated to advancing this promise across every aspect of our business and empowering our colleagues as we continue to grow and serve with purpose.”

A resident of Uxbridge, Mass., Silva received a bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal Communications from the University of Rhode Island and is also a graduate of the Bank Leadership Program from the Darden School at the University of Virginia.
