Pijor said FVCbank opened a loan production office in Virginia Beach, Virginia, in May 2026. The office is led by Terri Ruby, whom Pijor described as a lifelong resident of the area with banking experience in market expansion, business development and treasury services.

Ruby previously held leadership roles at Blue Ridge Bank, Virginia Community Bank, Monarch Bank and Fulton Bank, where Pijor said she “consistently drove growth and profitability.”

Technology Investments Cited as Performance Driver

Pijor attributed part of the bank’s improved financial performance to a disciplined focus on strategically aligned technologies. He pointed to tools supporting lending, treasury services and internal operations.

Pijor said the bank processed more than 1,000 loans totaling $427 million through its warehouse lending facility last year.

He also cited online deposit account opening and a digital platform designed to help property management and 1031 exchange clients handle third-party accounts and sub-accounts.
