A Special Message from
G. Robert Aston Jr.
TowneBank Executive Chairman
TowneBank started with a big dream in a two-car garage in Portsmouth, VA. It was there that the original founders created the vision that would become TowneBank: a community-oriented bank focused on key principles that include a commitment to recruiting the very best employees, creating a family atmosphere, engaging local board members, and delivering the ultimate in member service.
"Thank you for the past 25 years of success, and we look forward to spending the next 25 years with you."
- G. Robert Aston Jr., Executive Chairman
