Why Choose Burke & Herbert?


Strong, Steady & Ready to be Your Bank!

When it comes to choosing a bank, consider its history, personnel, commitment to the community, strength and reputation for the highest level of customer service. In all these areas, Burke & Herbert Bank & Trust stands heads above other banks!

Burke & Herbert has provided traditional banking excellence for individuals, families and businesses in the Washington, D.C. area since 1852. We are Virginia’s oldest bank and the oldest continuously operating bank in the Washington, D.C. area. Our history is an extraordinary tale woven over the course of more than a century and a half. Think about it: Burke & Herbert has endured Civil War, World Wars, The Great Depression, astounding advances in technology and the growth of mega banks. Through it all, we have stayed true to our community and our commitment to serving our customers with the highest levels of sound banking and superior service.

Unlike other banks, we will be here tomorrow. We will not become another bank next week. We will not sell out and desert our community. We often like to ask people who have not discovered the pleasure of banking at Burke & Herbert this question: “What is the name of your bank THIS week?” With all the bank mergers and acquisitions, consumers have a right to feel very unsettled. But not at Burke & Herbert; we stand firmly committed to our community. We do our business honestly and hope to earn the trust of those we serve – one customer at a time. This is why we have customers who do not simply span years but generations of families!

When you bank here, you will notice something right away: the outstanding personnel we have and our great pride and commitment in the way we treat our customers. There is something quietly impressive about an institution who has employees who come to work and stay decades. It speaks volumes about the family-oriented nature we strive to establish here for our employees and our customers. It also means a world of difference to customers who know they will see the same faces year after year. This is the epitome of personal service!

We think our wonderful, dedicated employees and their strong commitment to providing outstanding service is one of the main reasons Burke & Herbert has consistently been rated a top consumer-rated bank in Washington Consumer Checkbook’s recent surveys of banks. More than anything we can say about ourselves, this consistently high rating speaks volumes about the great loyalty of our wonderful customers.

Good old fashioned service combined with all the latest modern banking technology means Burke & Herbert gives you the best of all banking worlds, too. From online banking and bill pay, to electronic statement delivery and remote deposit to our new mobile banking product – we proudly give our customers the full range of deposit products and services they need but we do it with a warm personal touch.

We thank you for visiting our website and hope that you will allow us to become your bank, too.
