Re: Cordia Bancorp Inc.

Registration Statement on Form S-4

File No. 333-186087

Dear Mr. Clampitt:

On behalf of Cordia Bancorp Inc. (“Cordia”), enclosed is an amended registration statement (the “Amended Registration Statement”), including exhibits, marked to indicate changes from the registration statement on Form S-4 filed on January 18, 2013 (the “Registration Statement”).

The Amended Registration Statement is filed in response to the staff’s comment letter issued on January 25, 2013. To aid in your review, we have repeated the staff’s comments followed by Cordia’s responses and indicated where the documents have been revised in response to such comments.

General

Comment No. 1:

We note your response to comment 2 of our letter dated December 5, 2012. Please describe whether a registered offering of the shares acquired in the rights offering is contemplated.

Response to Comment No. 1:

As discussed with SEC Staff, the rights offering was conducted by Bank of Virginia, not Cordia. As a result of the proposed share exchange all outstanding shares of the Bank will be exchanged for shares of Cordia and the Bank will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Cordia. No registration rights were granted nor will any be provided with respect to the shares issued in the rights offering. None of the existing shareholders of Cordia have registration rights.
