Pros

Well managed and innovative teams

Cons

With a smaller size organization, it was difficult to remove poor performers when needed. In the long run everyone had an equitable chance to perform.

Our DEI vision statement

Atlantic Union Bank embraces diversity of thought and identity to better serve our stakeholders and achieve our purpose. We commit to cultivating a welcoming workplace where Teammate and customer perspectives are valued and respected.

How we bring the vision to life

We’re committed to treating everyone with respect and dignity. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we welcome minorities, women, LGBTQ , veterans and persons with disabilities. Our Teammates are inspired to grow and develop, love what they do and who they do it for. Atlantic Union Bank also hosts students in its Diversity Summer Internship Program. The program offers a professional career experience for students to develop skills for the various career opportunities in the banking industry.

Working together to grow (Women’s Inclusion Network)

Our Women’s Inclusion Network (WIN) was founded by Maria Tedesco, President of Atlantic Union Bank, and aims to create opportunities for women across the organization to work together to grow personally and professionally. Teammate-led sessions and events allow members to focus on various topics that interest women, as well as the bank as whole, such as racial equality and finding your voice and inner strengths.

About Us

People first

From Caroline County Bank (1902-1921) to Union Bank & Trust (1921-2019) to Atlantic Union Bank (2019 and beyond), our chapters are rich in history. It’s been a great opportunity to serve consumers and businesses for 117 years long and counting. And now with an expanded presence across the region – from Northern Virginia, to the mountains to the beaches of the Outer Banks – we’re able to conveniently be there for even more.

At Atlantic Union Bank, we’re committed to all our customers and businesses every step of the way through their financial journey and the successes or challenges they encounter along the way. Whatever their needs may be from their bank, we hope we can help.

Customers at the heart of what we do

Forward-thinking digital capabilities – like our mobile app and online banking – and product and service innovations – like Debit Card Controls for all debit cards and our status as a preferred lender for the Small Business Administration– keep us moving forward as we aim to serve customers even better. 

Our local focus and commitment to making banking easy for our customers has always been second to none. Throughout our history, we’ve taken enormous pride in being a partner and advocate for the people and communities we serve.

Community

It’s easy for our teammates to get involved

At Atlantic Union Bank, our teammates can support matters they truly care about. There are opportunities to participate in teammate-led councils and initiatives that serve the needs of our internal and external communities, and help provide teammates with a greater sense of belonging and purpose.

All teammates are allocated 16 hours each year to participate in volunteer efforts in schools and local organizations, support charitable initiatives or get involved in fundraisers.

A passion for volunteering and philanthropy

Our core values – caring, courageous, committed – are woven into our community efforts and culture of giving back. We’re a proud sponsor of local festivals, family events and support many organizations that strive to ensure residents have a safe, affordable place to call home.

Throughout the years, even with the pandemic, Atlantic Union Bank has:

  • Supported organizations through volunteer hours and charitable contributions for various initiatives

  • Launched services and products for those working to re-establish their credit history, as well as those who serve, like military personnel, educators, healthcare professionals and first responders

  • Invested millions in our communities (through affordable housing in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, small business and economic development)

Protecting our planet through green initiatives

Protecting the environment is our responsibility and we take it seriously. Atlantic Union Bank is helping to protect our planet today and for generations to come by taking proactive measures.

In 2021, we recycled 392,973 pounds of paper through our secure shred program. By recycling, we avoided 284,513 pounds of CO2 emissions, conserved 982,435 cubic yards of landfill space, preserved 3,297 trees, saved 5,385,905 gallons of water and saved 444,060 kWh of electricity.

We pride ourselves on being a partner, advocate and leader for the communities and people we serve. See more photos and videos or our volunteer efforts by visiting our Facebook page and other social media pages.

Welcoming Workplace

From our community outreach to our workplace strategies, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is woven into every aspect of how we approach business. Our Teammates come from different places and have unique perspectives, and our goal is to create one team that values each person’s ideas and contributions.
