SCBT unveiled new signs and began operating as South State Bank, bringing four of its five bank brands under one unified name.
The bank did business as SCBT in South Carolina, as NCBT in North Carolina, as Community Bank & Trust in North Georgia and as The Savannah Bank in Savannah, GA. The bank’s fifth brand, First Federal, located in coastal S.C. and Wilmington, N.C., will be branded as South State Bank on July 21.
“Our team is excited about our next step together under a common brand,” said Robert R. Hill, Jr., South State Bank CEO. “Our customers will have significantly expanded convenience while retaining the relationship banking culture that our company has been known for since 1934.”
Customers will now have access to 135 banking locations in three states – North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Today, the bank also launched its new website, SouthStateBank.com, and expanded its social media presence on Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Last week, the company announced the new holding company name, South State Corporation, and the new stock ticker symbol, SSB, which will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
