The company focuses on community banking, differentiating itself by emphasizing local economic engagement.
In its 2024 fourth quarter and full year results, Blue Ridge Bankshares reported a net loss, reflecting the company’s ongoing strategic shifts and regulatory remediation processes. Despite the financial loss, there was a sequential improvement in deposit growth and a reduction in non-interest expenses and nonperforming assets, signaling operational progress.
Key financial metrics for the fourth quarter showed a net loss of $2.0 million, significantly affected by losses on the sale of mortgage servicing rights and reduced income from fintech lending partnerships. The company also reported a decrease in total assets and deposits as it continued to wind down its banking-as-a-service operations, while focusing more on traditional community banking.
Looking forward, the management of Blue Ridge Bankshares remains confident in their strategic direction, which includes exiting fintech lending relationships and improving operational efficiency. With a stronger balance sheet and higher capital levels, the company aims to stabilize its loan portfolio and focus on growing in-market deposits, positioning itself for measured growth in promising commercial and consumer markets.
Overall, Blue Ridge Bankshares is navigating a significant transition aimed at strengthening its community banking focus, with management committed to achieving profitability and long-term growth.
