We are excited to announce that FNBC Bancorp, Inc., holding company for FNBC Bank, has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire RiverWind Bancshares, and its wholly owned subsidiary, RiverWind Bank, a $170 million asset community bank headquartered in Augusta, Ark.
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close before the end of the year. Once complete, FNBCâs asset size will be approximately $1 billion and will expand its presence into Central Arkansas for the first time.
âThis is an exciting opportunity for both organizations,â said Chad Hudson, FNBC CEO & President. âWe are proud to welcome the customers, employees and communities of RiverWind Bank to FNBC. Both organizations share a strong commitment to customer service, local leadership and community involvement, making this a natural fit for FNBC.â
Customers of RiverWind will continue to receive the same trusted service they know today while gaining access to FNBCâs expanded products, services and digital banking capabilities. Additional details regarding customer accounts, system integrations and transition timelines will be communicated in the coming months. Until the transaction is finalized, customers should continue banking as they normally would.
