The Bank of Southside Virginia dates its origins back to 1905 when the Bank of Stony Creek was chartered. In 1911 the Bank of Carson opened for business and in 1919 the Prince George County Bank began operations. These three local banks merged in 1933 to form The Bank of Southside Virginia. The Jarratt Bank opened in the late 1930′s and immediately merged with The Bank of Southside Virginia to expand the organization to four locations.
BSV added two branches in the tri-cities area around Petersburg in 1972. The Rohoic/Edgehill office just west of town on Cox Road in Dinwiddie County opened in May, and the South Crater Road branch in the city of Petersburg opened for business in November of that year.
With an asset size of $484 million and fifteen full-service locations, The Bank of Southside Virginia is both the largest community bank and the largest branch network in the area. The bank serves all or parts of the counties of Dinwiddie, Sussex, Surry, Prince George, Greensville, Southampton, Isle of Wight and Chesterfield; and all or parts of the cities of Petersburg, Emporia, Colonial Heights, Franklin, Smithfield and Chester.
Bauer Financial Reports, Inc. awards The Bank of Southside Virginia five stars – their highest rating. Again, BSV has earned top honors every quarter since Bauer began their ratings. Veribanc, Inc., a well known and highly respected Massachusetts rating service, gives BSV the green / three star designation, their top honor.
