Access National (ANCX) in Reston, Va., has added a chief credit officer.

John Salop of BB&T (BBT) succeeds Fred Rubin, the $875 million-asset Access announced Monday. Rubin late last year joined Susquehanna Bank (SUSQ) in Lititz, Pa.

Salop had been senior credit officer of the northern Virginia region for BB&T, which recently restructured its regional offices, eliminating 14 regional presidents. He had been the chief credit officer at First Virginia Banks until its merger with BB&T in 2003.

"We are thrilled [Salop] chose to join our team," Michael Clarke, the president and chief executive of Access National Bank, said in a news release. "His extensive business and credit experience will further enhance our reputation as the leading bank resource for local businesses."
