SGBC Marks 50 Years
Fifty years ago, in April of 1970, South Georgia Banking Company was formed in Omega, Georgia. For five decades, the bank has served communities not only as a financial institution, but as neighbor and business partner in the South Georgia region.
Since 1970, South Georgia Banking Company has strengthened its roots by creating a work environment that attracts talented people who exemplify the bank’s customer-first commitment. During that time, the bank’s footprint has also grown and now includes locations in Omega, Tifton, Moultrie, Ashburn, Cordele, Vienna, and Sylvester.
“The growth and stability of our bank can be attributed in large part to my Dad, Pait Willis, who led South Georgia Banking Company for 48 years before his death in 2018,” said Glenn Willis, current president and CEO. “Additionally, our board, the entire bank leadership team, and our employees through the years, have all played a significant role in the bank’s growth. Without everyone’s intentional focus to carry out our vision of extraordinary customer service, we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
