Ameris Bank

Ameris Bank is a regional commercial bank serving businesses across eight southeastern and mid-Atlantic states: Georgia, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and Tennessee. Its business lending lineup includes lines of credit, term loans, equipment finance, commercial real estate financing, and construction finance — a solid range for borrowers who prefer a traditional bank relationship. The bank also carries strengths in mortgage banking and treasury services. Some borrowers have flagged customer service as an area of concern, so if hands-on support through the loan process matters to you, it's worth asking pointed questions upfront. A reasonable fit for established businesses already operating in its footprint.
