Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp.’s (Burke & Herbert) acquisition of LinkBank, headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, underscores its commitment to the Fredericksburg community. Founded in 1852, Burke & Herbert Bank (Bank) has a historic presence in the region and a long-standing reputation for personal service and dedication to the communities it serves.
In 2023, LINKBANCORP, Inc. merged with Partners Bancorp, the parent company of Virginia Partners Bank. Founded in 2008 in Fredericksburg, Virginia, by local business leaders, it was known for its strong values and local leadership. Burke & Herbert’s acquisition of LinkBank brings together three community-focused institutions united by a shared commitment to local relationships, leadership, and service.
To further strengthen its presence in the market, the Bank relocated its Fredericksburg Commercial Banking Office (currently, a loan production office) to 410 William Street, the original location of Virginia Partners Bank to establish a comprehensive Market Financial Center. The Center provides clients with convenient access to commercial, business, wealth, treasury, and mortgage services, along with retail banking on the main level.
“We’re honored to be entrusted with LinkBank/Partners customers, and we believe our Service Beyond Expectations commitment, compatible banking values, and relocation to the former Virginia Partners Bank building demonstrates our sincere dedication to serving them,” said Regional President Greg Mellors. “At the same time, the move brings easy access to expanded services along with the added convenience of a downtown drive-through for our legacy customers.”
“We have earned a long-standing reputation for true relationship banking because we genuinely care about our customers; in many cases they are our friends and neighbors,” said Market President Jeff Rouse. “This relocation reflects our commitment to meeting customers—both longtime and new—where they will feel most comfortable. Leaving the 520 William Street location was bittersweet. We worked closely with Vakos Companies for several years to find and redevelop an exceptional market center location, which resulted in Park Place on William, a modernized, historic building just a couple of blocks away. Park Place offers unmatched visibility in downtown Fredericksburg, and we look forward to welcoming Vakos’ next tenant as a neighbor.”
With the completion of the LinkBank acquisition, the 410 William Street location, combined with locations on Plank Road and in Spotsylvania Courthouse Village, expands the Bank’s retail presence and provides convenient access for customers throughout the Fredericksburg community.
