Beyond traditional banking, the company generates fee-based income through wealth and trust services (investment management, corporate and individual trust, real estate investment trusts), treasury and payment services (merchant processing, ACH, remote deposit, positive pay), and insurance and retirement offerings including IRAs and estate planning.

As a regional bank operating under a community banking model, HBNC concentrates its branch network within a defined geographic footprint and emphasizes relationship-driven lending to local businesses, households, and municipalities.
