Established in 2007 as the First Virginia Community Bank, FVCbank is currently the 17th largest bank headquartered in Virginia, with assets in excess of $1.4 billion. The Bank acquired 1st Commonwealth Bank of Virginia in 2012, extending its retail footprint in the Northern Virginia community bank network. In April 2018, the Bank rebranded as FVCbnk and in October 2018 acquired Colombo Bank, a Rockville (MD) bank founded in 1914 that primarily served Montgomery County. The acquisition expanded FVCbank’s market area into Maryland and D.C. for the first time and nearly doubled the number of branch locations. According to a May 2018 article in Washington Business Journal,
FVCbank Chairman and CEO David Pijor said his bank already lends in Colombo's markets, which should allow for a seamless transition. He said he generally likes the locations of Colombo's branch network, though it's possible one could be relocated.
"For us to be able to buy five ready-made, existing branches that are relatively well thought out and in markets we wanted to be in seemed very attractive," Pijor told me in an interview. "It seemed like a perfect storm of great opportunities."
