About Us
Our Story
Where we're from
Founded out of Appalachia, Ridge is changing the narrative around banking and what's possible for our region.
No one should have to choose between the impact of a community bank and the features of a national bank; and no one should have to leave where they are from to do good works.
Where we're going
Even though we're based in Appalachia, Ridge is fostering a national community of those who recognize the impact their financial decisions have both on their lives and the lives of those around them.
There's a lot of greenwashing and broken promises out there; we're on a path to change that. We hope you join us.

Who we are
Bo
Conservation law, renewable energy development, environmental policy — for better or worse Bo’s had a hand in all of it over the better part of the last decade.
Growing up in the Ozarks has led him to an unhealthy and lifelong obsession with float trips.
Max
An attorney (don’t hold it against him) born, raised, and residing in Kanawha County, West Virginia, Max has forgot more about revitalizing communities in need than most of us will ever know.
You can generally find him up a holler somewhere — sometimes on a horse, sometimes 4-wheeler, but usually staying out of trouble.
Grant
Living up a mountain in Boone, NC (by way of NYC by way of Missouri), Grant is Ridge’s banking and fintech guru focused on usability and financial literacy.
Be it drone photography or hiking; he takes full advantage of living just off the Blueridge Parkway.
The Advisory Team
The team behind the team.
Experts in banking, regulation, fintech, storytelling, and sustainability all working together to keep Ridge transparent, impactful, and secure.
