First Commercial Bank locations transitioning to Synovus brand

First Commercial Bank is one of 26 non-Synovus branded bank divisions to complete the footprint-wide brand transition, which will conclude in June 2018.

First Commercial Bank locations are beginning the transition today to the Synovus brand name.

Company officials say signage and other legacy branding at all First Commercial Bank branches will be updated with Synovus branding by the end of May.

First Commercial Bank is one of 26 non-Synovus branded bank divisions to complete the footprint-wide brand transition, which will conclude in June.

First Commercial Bank operates nine branches in the metro Birmingham area, including Synovus' Alabama headquarters at 800 Shades Creek Parkway. Birmingham is home of Synovus Mortgage Corporation, and the bank also operates five branches in Walker County through its First Bank of Jasper affiliate. First Bank of Jasper will transition to the Synovus name later this month.

First Commercial Bank was founded in Birmingham in 1985 and acquired by Synovus in 1992. The acquisition was among more than 60 that would make Synovus one of the largest financial institutions in the Southeast, with $31 billion in assets.

A Georgia-chartered bank, Synovus has 250 branches in Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama.

"Adopting the Synovus name while maintaining our local, relationship-centered delivery model will increase awareness of our regional presence, our financial capabilities, and our ability to meet the needs of customers and prospects," Nelson Bean, Synovus division CEO for Alabama and Tennessee, said.
