FACE OF
AMBITION
S BANK - SAVANNAH, GA
MEET DANA POTTS - The ‘S’ in S Bank is
appropriately ambiguous, while its reference is not
pinned to any one specific meaning, Dana Potts,
CEO & President of S Bank, grants that Service, Small
Business and Strive would all be aptly suited options.
As a community bank, S Bank understands and
embraces the values and opportunities of relationship-
based banking. From the exceptional personalized
customer service that they pride themselves on,
to the varied ways in which they give back to the
surrounding community, they strive to build individual
relationships that are solid and long-term.
S Bank is committed to community involvement.
They have a track record of giving back to the
community through volunteerism and fundraising,
donating both time and money to local causes. A good
neighbor is a steward of the community, dedicated to
look after its needs and invest in its growth. It is what
they do and who they are.
S Bank is experiencing rapid growth predominantly
through word of mouth as their customers are
spreading the word about the commitment to
community banking. In 2016, S Bank plans to open
an additional branch in Savannah. The aim is to
facilitate growth while maintaining the core concept s
and core values that have become synonymous with
the brand.
The ‘S’ in S Bank also means Standards. The
corporate culture of the bank is infused with its core
values and an aim for the highest possible standards.
Strive to provide the highest level of customer service
through one-on-one attention and a personal touch.
