NC bank's latest deal fits its Atlanta-to-Richmond plan
HomeTrust Bancshares agreed to buy Blue Ridge Bankshares in an all-stock deal valued at about $448.1 million, expected to close in early Q1 2027. The transaction would nearly double HomeTrust’s branch network, lift assets to about $7 billion, and add about $1.9 billion each of loans and deposits. Blue Ridge exited regulatory issues tied to fintech partnerships.
