Celebrating 53 Years of Banking Excellence. On October 1, 1971, Ameris Bank opened its doors in Moultrie, Georgia, with a vision of creating a bank for the future. Today, we're a publicly traded company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, serving communities across the country. Our founding father, Eugene M. Vereen, Jr., instilled a spirit of innovation and a commitment to serving our customers that continues to guide us today. We're with you every step of the way, providing services with purpose: to improve the lives of our customers while enriching our communities. #AmerisBank #BankingExcellence #EnrichingCommunities
