The bank issued a strong statement supporting its mission - "committed to community; dedicated to service" by introducing its senior staff representing more than 100 years of banking experience and donating to the "Bucks for Books" campaign at the Braselton Library.
The bank received its charter notification from the Georgia Department of Banking and Finance on Oct.15. The initial capitalization is $18.9 million, exceeding analysts' estimates for a start-up bank during the challenging conditions of the economy. Some 222 shareholders helped the bank exceed its capitalization projection.
Bank President Terry Evans introduced the board of directors. "We have a strong team and we'll work hard to serve the banking needs of this community and region," he said.
The bank offers checking accounts, savings accounts, personal or consumer loans and specialized personal banking services.
Braselton Mayor Pat Graham cut the ribbon and thanked the vision of the board and staff for opening its first office in Braselton. She also accepted the ceremonial ribbon of $1 bills to benefit the library.
