3.Perfecting enhanced digital offerings that allow Primis to attract and retain deposit customers at scale both in and out of our footprint.

Our principal business is the acquisition of deposits from the general public through our branch offices, digital platform, and deposit intermediaries and the use of these deposits to fund our loan and investment security portfolios. We seek to be a full-service bank that provides a wide variety of financial services to our middle market corporate clients as well as to our retail clients. We are an active commercial lender, and also invest funds in mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, securities issued by agencies of the federal government and obligations of states and political subdivisions.

Primis offers a wide range of commercial banking services; however, we are focused on making loans secured primarily by commercial real estate and other types of secured and unsecured commercial loans to small and medium-sized businesses in a number of industries, as well as loans to individuals for a variety of purposes, including home equity lines of credit. We are an SBA lender with Preferred Lending Partner status that allows us to offer this program nationwide.
