It will also accelerate current market expansions in Richmond and Northern Virginia.

Rust, President and Chief Executive Officer of Virginia National. “Our entire team is honored to be entering this partnership with The Fauquier Bank, and I look forward to the leadership of The Fauquier Bank joining our team and bringing their expertise and experience to our organization.”
