We’re excited to announce that we’re opening a new branch in the Richmond community — in Chesterfield, Virginia. The new branch will be located at 10000 Courtview Road and will offer a full suite of retail and commercial products. Construction begins this month, and the branch is expected to be open for business by the end of the first quarter of next year.
Tommy Adams, Commercial Loan Officer and Vice President of our existing loan office in Chesterfield, is overseeing the project. Tommy and his team will continue their operations at their current location until the branch construction is complete. Then they will join the new staff at the new location.
We first opened our doors in Richmond with our branch on Patterson Ave in 2015, and we love it here. “Our commitment to the community aligns well with Richmond’s culture, and we are excited to continue and deepen our relationships and footprint locally,” said Frank Bell, Richmond regional executive, who has managed the bank’s commercial operation in Richmond since 2011.
The Chesterfield office retail staff has been hired and is being led by a 20-year banking veteran branch manager, Tanja Brown.
