Our History
Old Point began its journey in January 1923, operating from a counter inside Cooper's Confectionary in the Phoebus section of Hampton. It was founded by a local doctor, a seafood dealer, and a merchant—community-minded individuals who believed a local bank could better serve the citizens and businesses of the area. They named the bank after the Old Point Comfort lighthouse, symbolizing their commitment to being a steady, trusted resource through all economic conditions.
In September 2025, Old Point proudly became a Division of TowneBank, uniting two community-based financial institutions with a shared mission of service. This partnership strengthens our ability to support the Hampton Roads and Richmond regions, combining Old Point's rich legacy with TowneBank's broad resources and continued dedication to the communities we live in and serve.
Together, we remain anchored in our founding values—local leadership, personal relationships, and unwavering support for our neighbors—while looking ahead to a future of even greater impact.
