Specializing in providing services to individuals and businesses that value a mutually beneficial banking relationship, North State Bank offers custom-banking solutions to attorneys, physicians, dentists, accountants, community association management firms, nonprofits, and churches.

North State Bank was formed and opened for business on June 1, 2000, under the leadership of President and CEO Larry D. Barbour, who assembled a highly-committed board of directors consisting of some of the top business and professional leaders in Wake County. Barbour also hired a talented and experienced leadership team with combined Wake County banking experience exceeding 200 years.

The bank is focused on being a high-performing bank with excellent core earnings, pristine credit quality, and strategy and execution at levels higher than its competitors. The bank is confident that execution against this type of vision and strategy will create significant competitive advantages and enable it to better serve the interests of its shareholders, customers, employees and the communities in which it operates.
