When Bank of the James opened its doors, we brought together many of the area’s finest bankers to provide our customers with fast, local banking. From a start-up team of 12 employees and 10 directors, the bank enjoys the reputation as being one of our area’s top performing community banks. Our dedication and commitment to service is the foundation that our company has been built on and this will never change.

We believe that our customer’s financial goals, both personal and professional, are our number one priority. Our goal is simply to treat our customers the way we ourselves want to be treated. Our mission of Bank of the James was to create a top performing community bank that delivered outstanding customer services in the most professional, friendly and caring manner possible and to have a positive and direct impact on the cities and counties that we serve.

We strongly believe that our focus on personal relationships with our customers and our local presence in the community is the reason we have enjoyed great success.
