Profile

Primis Financial Corp.FRSTFinancials

Operates Primis Bank and Primis Mortgage across a Virginia, Maryland, and Greater Washington, D.C. footprint. Revenue is shaped by deposits, loans, mortgage banking, digital deposits, Panacea healthcare finance, and mortgage warehouse lending, while market-area exposure and digital-bank controls are current operating dependencies.

Operates through Primis Bank, a Virginia state-chartered bank, and Primis Mortgage. Primis Bank gathers deposits, makes commercial, real estate, construction, consumer, and residential mortgage loans, and reaches customers through branches, mobile apps, online banking, digital deposits, Panacea Financial, and Mortgage Warehouse lending.

Focuses on Virginia, Maryland, and the Greater Washington, D.C. market, with credit exposure tied to surrounding Mid-Atlantic communities. Panacea serves medical, dental, and veterinary professionals nationally, while Mortgage Warehouse funds residential mortgage originators and Primis Mortgage contributes mortgage banking income.

Execution depends on attracting deposits, pricing loans, underwriting specialty credit, and maintaining digital-bank processing controls. Recent portfolio shaping includes the runoff of retained life premium finance loans, making the current mix more centered on community banking, healthcare finance, mortgage warehouse lending, and residential mortgage origination.
