On Monday August 17, 2026, Blue Ridge Bankshares, Inc. and HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc jointly announced the companies had entered into a definitive merger agreement. Once complete, Blue Ridge Bank, N.A. will merge into HomeTrust Bank creating a Regional Community Bank with more than $7 billion in assets and over 60 locations across the Southeast.
This is the next chapter in a turnaround story for Blue Ridge Bank, N.A. Joining HomeTrust Bank means greater scale, expanded resources, and new opportunities for our customers, our communities, and our team.
What this means for you:

📈 Greater lending capacity to allow us to support client growth plans
The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary regulatory and shareholder approvals. Until then, it’s business as usual — our teams remain focused on serving you every day.
We’re proud to expand HomeTrust Bank’s presence across Virginia, and we look forward to building what’s next together.
