Full Service Banking in Bedford

Your Bedford Community Bank

Bank of the James opened for business in July 1999.  Since then, we’ve grown from a new bank with 12 employees and one location to a local regional bank with multiple offices covering much of Virginia, over 150 employees, and a reputation in the communities we serve as a trusted bank and a reliable community partner. 

We want to take time to acknowledge our customers and say thank you.  We are grateful for each of you who has trusted Bank of the James to be their bank of choice.  As national banks are merging or leaving our local communities, Bank of the James is here to serve you.  If you are looking for a new banking relationship, we would love to meet you.  Call us or stop by the Bedford Office and meet our bankers.   We look forward to seeing you.
