Good local Atlanta bank

[Brandon Hardy]

We currently bank with Wells Fargo and Suntrust, and are looking to move to a smaller,  more personal institution.

We have learned that dealing with these larger banks, getting to know folks and earning their trust is much more difficult than it would be at a smaller bank, with that "small town" feel.

Can anyone recommend a local Atlanta bank that might be good for us?  I've heard Vinings Bank is a good one, but wanted to get some additional recommendations. 

Thanks in advance!

Quantum Bank is AWESOME, especially for anyone in the Real Estate / Construction / Rental business.   I know several of the other Atlanta BP Big Hitters use them as well.

Next up would be Hamilton State....IF you deal with the folks in the South Canton Branch.

A close third would be Bank of North Georgia, also very construction friendly.

No matter which BANK you bank with, it's ALL about relationships with the BANKERS,  make sure you go IN your bank as MUCH as possible so they learn who you are and what you do.  

A good banking relationship goes a LONG way to financing deals, proof of funds letters that may stretch the truth abit are completely accurate, ect.

I'll text you over my contacts at each of those banks.
