Today, the traditional banking approaches are all virtualized. Banks provide customers with their central banking system and digitization with innovative services. In addition, bank customers expect to perform a number of remote functions, such as requesting account statements, transferring funds and investing in one click. The implementation of technologies in banking will allow banks to offer highly customized products and services adapted to the current economic situation.
Movement Bank is one such bank that provides customers with an empowering experience. Established in 1919, it is situated in Danville, Virginia. In August 2017, the bank's name was changed from Danville Savings Bank to Movement. Alongside, the bank also adopted a new strategy for expanding into additional markets, developing improved products and services for consumers and businesses and changing how banks serve Americans.

He has worked with banking companies such as VantageSouth Bank and Greystone Bank with the management role. Rupp also worked with the Birmingham based Alabama Regions Financial Corp.

Movement Bank Chairman Casey Crawford, says, "We are also thrilled to have David and his family join our team. I'm excited to see where David's experience and dedication to servant leadership can take us in the years to come."
