Grayson National Bank And Bank Of Floyd Are Now Skyline National Bank

INDEPENDENCE, Va., Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In a combination that draws from more than 200 years of collective banking experience serving communities all along and around the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grayson National Bank and Bank of Floyd joined forces through their merger in 2016.  The combined bank announced today the new unified brand of Skyline National Bank, which will be effective on March 13, 2017.

SKYLINE NATIONAL BANK will provide a highly competitive suite of personal and business banking products and services, yet maintain the distinction of being a hometown, independent bank that makes decisions locally and is committed to community.

Under the parent company of Floyd, Va.-based Parkway Acquisition Corp., Skyline National Bank will serve southwestern Virginia and northwestern North Carolina with 17 branches, total assets of more than $550 million, deposits of $500 million, and shareholders' equity of $55 million.

"Our tradition of caring for the community has always been important to us, so we joined forces to be able to do more for the communities we serve," said Skyline National Bank President and CEO Allan Funk. "We have a more focused commitment to help create financially healthy communities and to provide service that's always our best."

The systems conversion of the two neighboring, legacy banks, which is to occur on the weekend of March 10 - 13, is expected to be seamless, as there will be no changes to account numbers, routing numbers or accounts, but bank officials want customers to be aware that there will be some early branch closings and interruptions in service that weekend. Customers should continue to use their original bank branch until the completion of the systems conversion at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, March 13. From that point forward, branches will open for business as branches of Skyline National Bank.
