Community & Southern Bank Celebrates Five Years of Financial Success Serving Georgia Communities

Community & Southern Bank (CSB) – one of Georgia’s most well capitalized banks operating more than 40 branches in metro Atlanta and across Georgia’s northern, eastern and western counties – celebrated its fifth anniversary on Thursday, January 29, 2015. Since its inception in 2010, CSB has grown its assets to more than $3.4 billion, and has successfully completed 12 acquisitions, including both failed and healthy banks.

“The banking industry has seen new progress and stabilization over the past few years and we are honored to be a part of this forward momentum,” says Pat Frawley, CSB’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “It is a true testament to our team, our business plan and our commitment to serving our communities that we have flourished to become the second largest community bank headquartered in Georgia.”

Frawley continued with, “We have tried to be a part of the solution of helping the Georgia banking community recover and heal from the terrible economic downturn of the past seven years. Our mission has been to build a highly valuable and well-run banking franchise and to become the financial institution of choice in our markets by exceeding expectations of our clients and our communities.”

Since the bank’s inception, CSB has helped stabilize markets, generated $3.0 billion in new loans, and now employs more than 600 individuals. In addition, CSB supports worthwhile causes in its markets through the CSB Charitable Foundation, with an emphasis on programs related to children and the military.

As CSB looks to the future, through a combination of strong organic growth and strategic partnerships, it will continue to operate in a diversified, risk averse manner and continue with its core purpose of passionately investing in its team members, its clients, and communities every day. Offering sound financial solutions combined with the utmost integrity and exceptional banking expertise will remain as the foundation upon which CSB was formed.
