ABOUT BENCHMARK COMMUNITY BANK

Benchmark Community Bank is a full-service, progressive financial institution that is integrally involved with each of the communities that we serve. In 1971, BCB opened for business in a "doublewide" in Kenbridge, Virginia. From those humble beginnings almost 54 years ago, Benchmark's leaders have developed a well-regarded institution upon which many Southside Virginians depend for their banking needs. Since 1971 growth has been strong and steady and we are proud to serve the Southside Virginia and northern North Carolina communities. Over the years, we have also continually found ways to give back to the community in which our customers live. We have always been and intend to continue to remain locally owned and operated.

Benchmark Community Bank is not only a great place to do business, but it is also a great place to work. As a part of our team, our staff members enjoy excellent benefits, a dynamic work environment, opportunities for internal advancement, professional development, and much more.
