Acceleration Request

Requested Date: September 12, 2019

Requested Time: 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Dear Mr. Envall:

River Financial Corporation (“Registrant”) hereby requests that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) declare the above-captioned Registration Statement on Form S-4, amended by Amendment No. 1, effective at the “Requested Date” and “Requested Time” set forth above or as soon thereafter as practicable.

The Registrant hereby acknowledges that:

•

should the Commission or the staff of the Commission, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

•

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

•

the Registrant may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
