First Coast Community Bank today begins transitioning to the Synovus brand name. Signage and other legacy branding at First Coast Community Bank branches will be updated with Synovus branding by January 30. First Coast Community Bank is among the first of Synovus’ 26 non-Synovus branded bank divisions to complete the footprint-wide brand transition, which will conclude in June 2018.

“This bank has been community-based and customer-focused since its founding more than three decades ago and that won’t change,” said Antoinette Richter, retail market manager for Fernandina Beach. “Adopting the Synovus name while maintaining our local, relationship-centered delivery model will increase awareness of our regional presence, our financial capabilities, and our ability to meet the needs of customers and prospects.

Acquired by Synovus in 1991, First Coast Community Bank was among more than 60 acquisitions that would become Georgia’s second largest bank, with $32 billion in assets and a presence in five Southeastern states. Synovus operates retail branches at 1750 South 14th Street in Fernandina Beach and 463719 State Road 200 in Yulee.

Synovus Bank, a Georgia-chartered, FDIC-insured bank, provides commercial and retail banking, investment, and mortgage services together with its affiliates through 250 branches in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee. Synovus Bank was recognized as the “Most Reputable Bank” by American Banker and the Reputation Institute in 2017. Synovus Bank is on the web at synovus.com, on Twitter @synovus, and on LinkedIn at http://linkedin.com/company/synovus. Equal Housing Lender.
