Georgia Trend Banking Feature - Supporting the Communities We Serve

Several CBA member banks share how they are serving the needs of their customers and communities in the July issue of Georgia Trend Magazine.  Across Georgia, some 200 community banks work every day to serve their depositors with tasks as simple as opening a savings account for a child and as complex as financing a multimillion-dollar project. Not only do customers benefit but so do shareholders, who last year earned almost 14% on their investments in Georgia’s community banks. What these banks have in common is a mission to offer their services to not just account holders, but the community at large.

“These institutions are local, they’re in the community, and they know what’s going on in the community,” says John McNair, CBA President & CEO.  “And as a depositor, when you make a deposit or buy a certificate of deposit or keep your savings at a local community bank, they’re deploying that money to make loans in the local community.”

Featured bankers include Donna Lott, President & CEO, Moultrie Bank & Trust, Bryce McCuin, Marketing Manager, BankSouth, Greensboro, and Eddie Rogers, Chairman & President, West Georgia Central Bank, Thomaston.
