Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. Agrees to Merge with HomeTrust Bancshares. Inc.

08/24/2026

We're excited to share some big news about the future of Blue Ridge Bank.

Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. has announced an agreement to merge with North Carolina-based HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. Together, we'll bring the strength of Blue Ridge Bank's deep Virginia roots and relationships together with HomeTrust's growing presence across the Southeast.

The result will be a premier regional commercial bank with more than $7 billion in assets and more than 60 locations stretching from Virginia to Georgia.

But while this is an exciting step for our organization, our commitment to our customers remains at the center of everything we do.
