History
Our customers are a huge part of our history. Year after year, our customers get to know us and we get to know them. Not just about financial goals, but about families and lives. In fact, we've been serving some customers for over five generations. What is known as BankSouth today is a combination of two local banks - The Citizens Bank was founded in Greensboro, Georgia on April 1, 1946, and Bank of Union Point, was founded in Union Point, Georgia on May 15, 1911. The bank operated as Citizens Union until adopting the name of BankSouth in 2004. Over 70 years later, BankSouth remains locally owned and managed with board members who have served for decades, and has branches located in Greensboro, Watkinsville, Atlanta, and Savannah. Founded on the premise of local, the tradition continues. We invite you to experience what we have to offer. You will find our tagline is more than words. It reflects values that our customers can expect. If you Ran a Bank, You'd Run it Like This.
