And as a bank, we have a responsibility to deploy capital in ways that grow local economies and create opportunities for financial success in all corners of our markets. We take those beliefs very seriously, creating an approach to banking that focuses on people and lets us build deep personal relationships. It’s heartening to see it recognized and witness its success throughout the Southeast.”
