# Chain Bridge Bank **Chain Bridge Bank, N.A.** is a small national bank at 1445-A Laughlin Ave, McLean VA. On federal campaign filings it appears in two roles that are worth keeping apart. **As depository.** It is the bank of record on a very large number of Republican committees' Form 1 registrations — on the 2026-10-20 tranche alone it is named as depository by committees as small as [[Buckeye Freedom PAC]], a super PAC registered twenty-nine days before the election. Being a committee's bank is a commercial service, not a political act, and this page does not treat it as one. **As lender.** That is the part the federal record makes interesting. On its September 2026 report the **[[National Republican Senatorial Committee]]** itemised **$20,000,000.00** of credit from Chain Bridge Bank on line `SA13` — *Loans and Loan Repayments Received* — see [[Chain Bridge Bank 20M Credit to NRSC]]. ## What to watch - Repayment rows on the NRSC's subsequent reports. - Any comparable loan to another party or political committee. - Whether a Democratic-side committee discloses borrowing at similar scale, which would make this a feature of late-cycle campaign finance rather than of one party's. ## See Also - [[Chain Bridge Bank 20M Credit to NRSC]] · [[National Republican Senatorial Committee]] - [[Buckeye Freedom PAC]] - [[Donor Network Hub]] · [[Organizations Hub]]
