Company Description

Chain Bridge Bancorp, Inc. is a Delaware-chartered bank holding company and the parent of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chain Bridge Bank, N.A., a nationally chartered commercial bank with fiduciary powers granted by the OCC. The Company was incorporated on May 26, 2006, and the Bank opened on August 6, 2007. The Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Bank and has no other subsidiaries. We offer a range of commercial and personal banking services, including deposits, treasury management, payments, loans, commercial lending, residential mortgage financing, consumer loans, trusts and estate administration, wealth management, and asset custody. Our mission is to deliver exceptional banking and trust services nationwide, blending financial strength, personalized service, and advanced technology to offer tailored solutions to businesses, non-profit organizations, political organizations, individuals, and families. Our vision is to grow responsibly by adapting our personalized service and advanced technology solutions to our clients’ evolving needs while emphasizing liquidity, asset quality, and financial strength. We aim to be recognized for our “Strength, Service, Solutions: Your Bridge to Better Banking Nationwide.” As of June 30, 2024, we held total assets of $1.4 billion, including $488.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $471.2 million were interest-bearing reserves held at the Federal Reserve. Our portfolio included $604.0 million in securities, with $246.6 million or 40.6% of that in U.S. Treasury securities. Net loans held for investment, after accounting for deferred fees and costs and allowances, totaled $300.4 million. Our total deposits stood at $1.3 billion, with stockholders’ equity at $94.0 million. Approximately 94.2% of these deposits were held in transaction accounts. Our loan-to-deposit ratio was 23.4%. Our Trust & Wealth Department reported total assets under administration of $364.0 million, consisting of $98.0 million of assets under management and $266.0 million of assets under custody as of June 30, 2024. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, we had $499.2 million in excess deposits sold one-way to other participating banks through the IntraFi Cash Service® (ICS®). For our clients that opt into the ICS® network, this service allows us to place their deposits in increments up to the FDIC insurance limits at other banks within the ICS® network. In exchange, we may elect to either receive reciprocal deposits from other banks within the ICS® network or place the deposits at other banks as “One-Way Sell®” deposits and receive a deposit placement fee. The Company aims to enhance stockholder value while managing risk. One of the metrics that we use to measure our performance is book value per share. The chart below shows that the Company has increased its book value per share at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2024, 8.7% from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2024 and 10.8% from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2024. --- The CAGRs in our book value per share since December 31, 2007, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2018 were impacted by growth in our book value per share of $392 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This growth was primarily driven by our $9.7 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, all of which was retained on our balance sheet as retained earnings. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in deposits from political organizations ahead of the 2024 federal elections, which increased our interest-earning assets, including our reserve balances at the Federal Reserve, and also increased our non-interest income from One-Way Sell® deposits in the ICS® program. As a result of the 2024 presidential election, we expect deposit outflows during the third and fourth quarters of 2024, with the possibility of some outflows extending into early 2025. --- Our principal executive office is located at 1445-A Laughlin Avenue, McLean, Virginia 22101.
