Yadkin Valley Bank and Trust (NASDAQ: YAVY) is a regional bank operating in the northwestern and Piedmont sections of North Carolina. The bank is headquartered in Elkin, North Carolina.
The original bank was opened in 1968. However, in the last three years Yadkin Valley Bank has grown significantly by the acquisition of two other regional banks (Main Street Bankshares, Inc. in June 2002, operating as "Piedmont Bank", and High Country Financial Corporation in January 2004, operating as "High Country Bank") and a mortgage broker (Sidus Financial LLC in October 2004), as well as opening new branch locations. Piedmont Bank and High Country Bank were reorganized as divisions of Yadkin Valley Bank but maintained their names and logos. Sidus remains as a wholly owned subsidiary.
Yadkin Valley Bank and its divisions operate 23 full-service branch locations and as of December 31, 2005, achieved a milestone in the bank's history by reaching the US$1 billion mark in total assets for the first time.
On July 1, 2006, the company reorganized into a holding company, becoming Yadkin Valley Financial Corporation.

“We bank over Boston. I am safe. I put on my hat.
I am almost someone going home. The story has ended.”

“Parents do not give up their children to strangers lightly. They wait in uncertain anticipation for an expression of awareness and interest in their children that is as genuine as their own. They are subject to ambivalent feelings of trust and competitiveness toward a teacher their child loves and to feelings of resentment and anger when their child suffers at her hands. They place high hopes in their children and struggle with themselves to cope with their children’s failures.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
