TowneBank to acquire North Carolina's BlueHarbor Bank

Original: Virginia's TowneBank makes deal for a 4th NC bank The hefty premium TowneBank is paying for North Carolina-based BlueHar

Virginia-based TowneBank has agreed a deal to buy BlueHarbor Bank, its fourth acquisition of a North Carolina bank. Observers note the hefty premium TowneBank is paying reflects both the quality of the BlueHarbor franchise and the scarcity value of well-regarded community banks in the region. The move signals continued consolidation in North Carolina's banking market as larger regional players compete for footholds.

Why now: Regional bank consolidation continues to draw attention, and the unusually high premium paid for BlueHarbor is notable to banking observers.
