Description
Georgia Banking Company, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Through our bank subsidiary, Georgia Banking Company, we provide a broad suite of commercial banking, community banking, private banking, commercial real estate banking, mortgage warehouse and treasury services to businesses, professionals, entrepreneurs and consumers concentrated in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area (the “Atlanta MSA”). As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $3.3 billion in total assets and operated a diversified mix of lending, deposit and fee-generating businesses through 10 full-service banking offices and three loan production offices, all of which are in the Atlanta MSA. We believe our success is largely driven by a differentiated relationship banking model that combines local decision-making authority, senior-level responsiveness, personal relationships and exceptional service with the products, expertise, technology and lending capacity associated with larger institutions. This model allows us to serve the complex financial needs of small and middle-market businesses while maintaining the service culture and accessibility that define community banking. We serve businesses, professionals, entrepreneurs, and families throughout the Atlanta MSA via a platform designed for disciplined growth, relationship depth and long-term shareholder value creation. Our current strategy was established following a transformative recapitalization completed in 2021, led by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Bartow Morgan, Jr., and supported by a mix of local and institutional investors. Mr. Morgan previously served as Chief Executive Officer and a director of Brand Group Holdings and The Brand Banking Company (“BrandBank”) from 2001 until its sale in 2018 and led BrandBank’s growth from a local community bank into one of the largest privately held banks headquartered in the Atlanta MSA. Mr. Morgan and a number of other like-minded investors identified an opportunity in the Atlanta MSA for a locally headquartered bank with between $2 billion and $10 billion in total assets due to a large number of mergers and acquisitions involving banks in this asset class between 2015 and 2018. Through a $125 million private placement and a subsequent $55 million subordinated debt offering, the Company raised approximately $180 million of capital in 2021 (the “Recapitalization”) and began a comprehensive strategic transformation of the franchise. Since that time, we have evolved from a specialty-oriented institution with approximately $650 million in assets into what we believe is a premier community banking franchise in Georgia with approximately $3.3 billion in assets as of June 30, 2026. Since the Recapitalization, we have expanded our market presence, strengthened our operating platform, increased core funding and diversified our balance sheet. Notable progress includes: • Recruiting experienced bankers across diverse business lines with an attractive rewards and recognition program; • Investing in technology and infrastructure; • Revamping branding and marketing strategy; • Expanding into attractive Atlanta MSA sub-markets and broadening our product capabilities with seven new branch locations opened since 2021; • Growing assets from approximately $650 million in 2021 to approximately $3.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, including approximately $2.6 billion in loans; • Growing deposits from approximately $525 million in 2021 to approximately $2.8 billion as of June 30, 2026; • Completing and integrating two strategic whole-bank acquisitions; • Establishing robust service standards; and • Being recognized by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as a Top Workplace for three consecutive years and as a Top Workplace by Axios Atlanta for one year (based on employee surveys administered by a third-party research firm). --- We were incorporated in 1998 as a Georgia corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 1776 Peachtree Street NW, Suite 300, Atlanta, GA 30309 and our telephone number at that address is (866) 711-4530.
