New Peoples Bankshares is a small community bank holding company headquartered in Honaker, Virginia, operating through its subsidiary, New Peoples Bank. The Bank runs 17 full-service branches across southwestern Virginia, southern West Virginia, northeastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina, serving individuals, small to medium-sized businesses, and professionals in rural Appalachian communities. New Peoples operates a traditional community banking model: it takes in deposits and lends that money out at higher rates, earning a net interest margin on the spread. Core products include commercial and industrial loans, residential mortgages, construction loans, home equity lines of credit, and consumer installment loans on the asset side, alongside checking, savings, money market, and CD accounts on the deposit side. New Peoples also offers investment products through a broker-dealer relationship with Osaic Institutions and insurance referrals through its NPB Insurance subsidiary, though these are ancillary to core banking. Profitability depends on loan volume and mix, deposit costs, credit quality, and the interest rate environment. The Bank positions itself as a relationship-driven lender, emphasizing personal service and local decision-making. New Peoples holds its strongest deposit market share in the smaller Virginia counties where it was founded — including over 37% share in Dickenson and Scott counties — while its newer Tennessee and North Carolina markets remain less penetrated due to earlier-stage development and stiffer competition.
