Our History

Legacy State Bank began operations in March 2005 with a vision to provide outstanding banking products and services to businesses and individuals in Walton, Gwinnett and surrounding counties. Approximately 450 individuals, most of whom lived in the area, invested over $17 million to initially capitalize the bank. Our mission “To provide a customer experience unlike any other bank” has been well received by the community. In 2024, we opened a full-service branch in Monroe, Georgia to better serve this market. 

Today, Legacy State Bank is well capitalized, we have the strongest and most experienced team of directors and employees in the history of the bank, and we have achieved solid growth in loans, deposits, and earnings. Our board of directors and our employees live in and around our community. We can make quick decisions and address any needs or concerns immediately. Finally, in addition to supporting our community with great banking services, we participate in and continually invest in many local civic and charitable organizations in our community.

While we are one of only a few remaining true community banks in the Atlanta market, we offer the services of the large banks including online banking, mobile banking, remote deposit, and other treasury management services. More importantly, we also take the time to get to know our customers.  If you are looking for a bank that in addition to offering great products and services, takes the time to get to know you and address your banking needs, I would encourage you to give Legacy State Bank a try. I am confident you will be happy with your decision.
