The Forsyth Community Bank, a Division of The Buckhead Community Bank

History

As of February 6, 1998, Atlantans once again had a hometown bank. While jumbo banks busily become mega banks, and local banks relocate to distant cities, The Buckhead Community Bank opened its doors to a kind of banking Atlantans thought was lost.

With roots deep in Atlanta and its vision fixed firmly on its home community, The Buckhead Community Bank promises the kind of personal service and local decision-making that both business and individual customers have been looking for.

"Our goal is relationship banking," says President and CEO Marvin Cosgray. "We want our customers to know they'll receive more personal attention, that they can deal with the top officers of the bank, rather than branch managers. And, they can be sure we won't nickel-and-dime them with nuisance charges."

Among the innovative services the bank offers is on-site check printing; customers don't have to wait for personalized checks when they open a new account. For people on the go, an especially attractive feature is fee-free ATM usage – anywhere in the world. The bank also offers MasterCard, Visa and a business credit card program for commercial customers.

Internet Banking with Bill Pay enables customers to make transfers, account inquiries, and pay bills 24 hours and day, 7 days a week. eSTATEMENT is our electronic statement delivery system that will allow you to view, print and download statements from our secure website. Home equity and construction loans at attractive rates are also part of the bank's portfolio of services.

"The most rewarding part of my job is being part of providing the community with a bank that's head- quartered here, one that can help the community grow, and help it remain a vibrant community," says Cosgray. The bank has already shown a commitment to good corporate citizenship with its support of non-profit charities, humanities and the arts. It is a solid supporter of the Shepherd Center, the United Way, and Buckhead Christian Ministries.

As a banker with nearly three decades of experience in small community banking, Cosgray is well-equipped to keep the bank on its community-oriented track. Though the bank is a bright and friendly face in the bustling Buckhead business community, it's backed by years of knowledge and a ready-made track record of superior service. Working with Cosgray is a team with more than a century of combined experience in all aspects of commercial and consumer banking.

In October 2000, the Sandy Springs location was opened to bring personal service banking to that community. In April 2003 a loan production office was opened in Johns Creek to expand service to the North Fulton, South Forsyth, and Gwinnett markets. The Alpharetta Community Bank opened in January 2005 and our newest branch in Midtown opened in October.

All of which proves, that if you want the services of a hometown, community bank, you can, indeed, go home again ... to the family of Buckhead Community Bancorp, Inc. banks.
