TowneBank

What TowneBank does

TowneBank is a publicly traded regional bank holding company (NASDAQ: TOWN) headquartered in Suffolk, Virginia, with approximately $22 billion in pro forma total assets following the January 2026 closing of the Dogwood State Bank acquisition. The company operates more than 70 banking offices across Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee and is the largest bank in Virginia by deposit market share. TowneBank operates a relationship-driven community banking model with dedicated bankers, local decision authority, and vertical specialization in healthcare, legal, construction, real estate, government contracting, nonprofits, and property management. The customer base spans consumers, small and mid-market businesses, commercial clients, and high-net-worth individuals.

The product platform spans personal and business banking, treasury and merchant services (Same Day ACH up to $100M, Remote Deposit Capture, Positive Pay, Card Suite Pro), commercial real estate lending including non-recourse capital-markets financing, SBA lending, mortgage origination, wealth management, trust and fiduciary services, insurance, real estate brokerage, and 1031 exchange. TowneBank's Towne Family of Services (TowneBank Mortgage, Towne Wealth Management, Towne Insurance Agency, Towne Benefits, Towne Trust Company N.A., RW Towne Realty/Title, and Towne 1031 Exchange) creates a multi-product cross-sell layer on top of core banking. Digital delivery is via Towne24 online banking, iOS/Android mobile apps, and a dedicated Business Online Banking platform with Same Day ACH.

Revenue is generated primarily from net interest income on loans and deposits (commercial real estate, commercial lending, consumer, residential mortgage) complemented by non-interest income from deposit service charges, treasury management, merchant services, mortgage banking, trust and wealth management, and insurance commissions. Q1 2026 reported record total revenues of $246.45 million, up 34.6% year-over-year. The strategic playbook combines programmatic regional M&A (Farmers Bank 2023, Village Bank and Old Point Financial in 2025, Dogwood State Bank in 2026) with organic branch additions, including the October 2025 Greensboro Financial Center grand opening. TowneBank maintains a 14-year record of consecutive dividend increases and an industry-leading NPS of 76 versus a 41 industry standard; in April 2026 the company divested its Towne Vacations resort property management segment for $250 million and returned capital via a $0.70 special dividend and a $25 million donation to the TowneBank Foundation.
