2021 – ODNB’s Continued Support to our Customers and Communities.
ODNB secured $301 million in funding for more than 700 small businesses and nonprofits through the federal emergency Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) launched in April 2020. ODNB funded $92 million in PPP loans in 2021 alone, after the U.S Small Business Administration (SBA) opened the program’s second round at the beginning of the year.
Our PPP loan volume reflects both the tremendous demand for the program and the extraordinary work done by the Bank’s employees. The Bank’s entire team of 79 employees provided its concierge style of service to help both new and existing customers to access the federal program.
In 2021, ODNB also appointed Robert Hubbell and William Reilly to its Board of Directors.
As a result of its continued strong financial performance, its participation in the PPP and its drive to recruit and keep top-tier talent across the company, the Bank’s total assets have grown to $827.5 million as of June 30, 2021.

2020 – Record-Breaking Results for ODNB.
Despite the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic crisis presented, including a near-zero interest rate environment, ODNB achieved record financial results in 2020 by providing credit and capital to their business and individual customers when they needed it most, including through an expanded residential mortgage lending platform and PPP lending. ODNB’s loan portfolio grew by 88%, a key driver that enabled ODNB to achieve its first full year of profitability in 2020. As a result of ODNB's amazing growth, the Washington Business Journal named the bank among the regions fastest growing companies.
ODNB also appointed Daniel Harrington to serve as vice chairman of the Board and Former Washington, D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams and PA State Senator Jacob Corman III as directors of the bank.
Even in the midst of a pandemic, ODNB continued to find ways to support its communities. As a locally owned and managed bank, ODNB is a proud supporter of programs benefitting the people and communities that we serve. Among the incredible organizations that we support is the Organization for Autism Research (OAR), an Arlington, VA-based nonprofit that uses science to address the social, educational, and treatment concerns of self-advocates, parents, professionals, and caregivers in the autism community. In addition to serving as a corporate sponsor of OAR’s 2020 Active for Autism 5k, several of our team members participated in the virtual race, helping OAR exceed its fundraising goal for this event.

2019 – A Pivotal Year for ODNB.  
In 2019, ODNB achieved significant balance sheet growth designed to provide the scale necessary to reach profitability. During 2019, the bank grew total assets by 62%, loans by 60% and deposits by 67%. ODNB also generated total revenue of $11.9 million, up 78% from the prior year.
As part of our strategic plan, ODNB expanded into the attractive Central Pennsylvania market, with the opening of our first Centre1st Bank branch in State College during 2019. Led by ODNB President Jack Infield, Centre1st made quick progress in attracting local business and consumer customers, supported by Central Pennsylvania-based executives, directors and shareholders who are connected and involved in the local business community.
During 2019, ODNB also took important steps to strengthen its team, executive management group and board leadership. Vishal Gandhi joined ODNB as SVP, Commercial Lender, Todd Rowley signed on as our Capital Region Market Executive, and Rick Schoen joined ODNB as SVP, Commercial Lender. In addition, we announced a strategic partnership with the DC-area founders of the former VisionBank (In Organization), many of whom became important shareholders of and advocates for ODNB, including Rick Horn, who joined ODNB as Executive Vice President and General Counsel. ODNB also strengthened its Board of Directors through the additions of Joseph DiPasquale, Alfred Moses, Jim Abdo and Jennifer Bognet in 2019.
In addition, ODNB successfully completed a $22.4 million private placement offering of common equity at $13.00 per share, or 138% of book value, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Investors in the offering were largely business leaders in the Washington, D.C. metro area. The capital supported the community bank’s continued organic growth and expansion throughout its Washington metro, Central Pennsylvania and Charlottesville markets.
Throughout 2019, ODNB supported several incredible organizations and events, like the 9th annual DC Wings of Hope fundraising gala benefitting the Melanoma Research Foundation and the Medical Care for Children Partnership (MCCP) Gala, raising funds to provide low-income families with reduced-cost health care for their children.

2018 – Another Leap Forward for Old Dominion.

Old Dominion took another leap forward in 2018, combining continued execution of its organic growth strategy with its second successful capital raise in 18 months, raising another $38.7 million to fund the bank’s lending, investment activities, and growth in the markets it serves. In addition, the bank surpassed $250 million in assets during 2018, growing its balance sheet by more than five times in two years.  Old Dominion also expanded its shareholder base with more than 320 new shareholders, largely in the Washington metro area and Pennsylvania.

To support its growing shareholder and customer base in Central Pennsylvania, the bank opened a loan production office this year in State College, PA.  Throughout its footprint, the bank continues to invest in talented community bankers who are introducing Old Dominion’s true community bank to a growing number of customers.

Old Dominion’s commitment to the community remains strong and unwavering. In 2018, we have committed our resources and time to special organizations that provide important services to children throughout our the markets we serve, including  the Medical Care for Children Partnership Foundation in Fairfax County and the Jefferson Area Children's Health Improvement Program (CHiP).  In addition, each of our branches and offices have collected toys for children’s hospitals in Virginia and Central Pennsylvania.  We look forward to continuing supporting these and other local nonprofits throughout this year and in the future.

2017 – Executing Old Dominion’s Organic Growth Strategy.

With a balance sheet newly fortified with $30 million in capital from 175 shareholders across the Washington metro area and Pennsylvania, Old Dominion National Bank successfully executed its organic growth strategy throughout 2017.

Old Dominion expanded its assets, loans, deposits, client relationships, branch network and talented team through the year. At the same time, the bank supported many important community organizations through volunteerism and financial contributions, such as the Albemarle County Police Foundation, Ronald McDonald House and Junior Achievement, to name a few.

Old Dominion’s first full-service branch in Northern Virginia opened in Tysons Corner in 2017, where the company’s executive offices are located.

Old Dominion also introduced its concierge style approach to banking to a growing number of new customers, as the bank seeks to become a bank of choice for high-quality small and mid-sized businesses, nonprofits and individuals in the markets it serves. As a result, the bank grew loans by 174% and deposits by 163% during 2017 and expanded the year’s net interest income by nearly 100% over 2016.

2016 – A Transformational Year for Old Dominion.

Over the course of the year, Old Dominion successfully raised $30 million in capital, adding more than 175 new shareholders. These shareholders represent individuals with strong ties to the Washington, DC metro community, and communities in Pennsylvania and Maryland. The Board of Directors appointed Mark Merrill to President and CEO in June 2016. Under Mark’s leadership, the Bank grew one of its most important assets, its employee base from 17 to 36 team members at the end of 2016. Seasoned bankers and skilled professionals with strong entrepreneurial spirit joined our team positioning us for growth ahead.

As the 2016 year drew to a close, the bank prepared to open its flagship location in Tysons Corner, VA, and an office in downtown Charlottesville, VA, strategically placing the bank in the heart of its two banking regions. The Tysons Corner location is home to a full-service retail and lending space, as well as the Bank’s executive offices. Both new locations are integral to the Bank’s growth strategy and deliver offices conveniently in the markets where our leaders, customers and shareholders live and work. We are committed to providing customers with the technology they expect of larger institutions with the added benefit of a community environment.

The achievements of 2016 positioned Old Dominion National Bank for growth, creating value for our employees, customers and shareholders for years to come.
