History

First Market Bank, FSB (FMB) was established in Memphis, Tennessee in 1997. [9] In February 2010, the holding company Union Bankshares Corporation completed its acquisition of FMB. [10] In March 2010, the holding company merged its subsidiary Union Bank & Trust, founded in Bowling Green, Virginia in 1902, into FMB, with FMB as the surviving institution. [9] FMB simultaneously changed its name to Union First Market Bank (UFMB). [9] Later in 2010, the holding company merged Northern Neck State and Rappahannock National into UFMB. [11] [12]

UFMB acquired StellarOne Bank in 2014, [13] and in 2015, UFMB rebranded to Union Bank & Trust (UB&T). [14] Following the acquisitions of Access National Bank and Middleburg Bank (which merged in 2017), as well as Xenith Bank, [15] UB&T then rebranded and became known as Atlantic Union Bank in 2019, [16] [17] in order to reflect the geographic expansion. [18]

In 2019, the bank created a division focused on financing for commercial equipment, [19] and donated a building acquired in the 1990s to the town of Bowling Green. [20] Atlantic Union Bank sold its registered investment adviser subsidiary in 2022. [21] In 2022, the bank had approximately 2,000 employees, primarily in Virginia, [22] and adopted a hybrid work model. [22] [23] Approximately 1,000 employees work a hybrid schedule as of 2023. [24]

In 2023, Atlantic Union Bank's parent company announced plans to transfer its stock listing from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange, [25] using the ticker symbol 'AUB'. [26] Additionally, Atlantic Union Bank's parent company announced plans to acquire American National Bankshares Inc., the Danville-based owner of American National Bank and Trust Co. [5] The acquisition expanded Atlantic Union Bank into Virginia's Southside, New River Valley, and the Roanoke metropolitan area, as well as North Carolina, particularly in the Piedmont Triad metropolitan region and Raleigh. [12] [27]

Atlantic Union Bank has naming rights for the Atlantic Union Bank Center, a multi-purpose arena on the James Madison University campus in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The venue was previously called the Union Bank & Trust Center as part of a ten-year name sponsorship agreement worth $2.25 million. [28] [29] The bank also has naming rights for the Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion in Portsmouth, which was previously known as the Union Bank & Trust Pavilion. [30] Atlantic Union Bank has sponsored Roanoke's certified 5K run, called the Drumstick Dash, [31] [32] as well as the 10K Mini run for children in Richmond. [33] [34] Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the bank co-organized a fundraiser in support of Ukraine. [35] Atlantic Union Bank has also funded grants allowing community groups and non-profit organizations to hire summer interns. [36]
