FB Financial, a Division of FirstBank Nashville, Tennessee, will open its first full-service retail location in Asheville on October 5, when it will begin serving clients alongside its existing commercial business across Western North Carolina. The new financial center, located at Two Town Square Blvd., Suite 140, in the Biltmore Park area, gives local families and business owners access to community banking services. A special grand opening ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. 

“Asheville is a natural fit for FB Financial because it is a growing community with a strong sense of identity and an entrepreneurial spirit,” said Chris Holmes, President and Chief Executive Officer of FB Financial Corporation. “Opening this financial center is an important next step in our investment in Western North Carolina. We serve our communities through experienced bankers, giving them the authority to make decisions locally, and supporting them with the capabilities of a larger organization.”

FB Financial entered the Asheville market in 2025 with a commercial banking team led by Market President Andy Nadeau who launched the “Blue Ridge Rising” loan recovery program with a $75 million capital commitment to support local businesses impacted by Hurricane Helene. Now, Nadeau and his growing team are expanding their presence and investment in the region with this new branch location that extends this local commitment to individual customers and small businesses.“Our team has spent the past year building relationships here in Asheville, and this branch gives us a permanent home to support the community, backed by FB Financial’s 120 years of banking excellence,” said Andy Nadeau, Market President. “From day-to-day banking to the kind of relationship advice that has helped local businesses recover after Hurricane Helene, we’re here to be a financial partner Asheville can count on for the long-term.”

To mark the opening, FB Financial is introducing several limited time offers for the Asheville market including: 

  • New customers who open a qualifying checking or savings account can earn up to $828. 

  • New and existing customers can lock in a 6.5% APY certificate of deposit, among the most competitive rates in the Asheville market. 

  • New and existing customers can open a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) at an introductory rate of 4.99% APR. 

  • New and existing customers can open a money market account and earn up to 4.15% APY.

Full terms and eligibility for both offers are available at FBFinancialOnline.com or at the new branch.
