Village Bank and Trust Financial (VBFC)
The parent of Village Bank has been released from a consent order overseen by the FDIC and Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions. The bank has been under the order for nearly four years. It was designed to help the bank recover from its past financial struggles in the wake of the recession. Village said the order was terminated “as a result of the steps the company and the bank took to, among other things, improve asset quality, increase capital, augment management and board oversight, and increase earnings.”
Village said it will remain party to a more informal regulatory agreement through written assurances to the regulators in a so-called memorandum of understanding. It contains provisions concerning asset quality, earnings, regulatory violations, minimum capital levels, asset growth and restrictions on paying dividends. It also will furnish progress reports to the FDIC and Virginia BFI.
