Letter to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We began our journey 23 years ago, and since then, we have become
one of the fastest-growing banks in the Southeast. A key part of our
success is that we have remained true to our mission of Impacting
Lives and our vision of creating a unique financial institution focused
on building strong relationships, providing incredible experiences,
and growing one client at a time.
In 2022, we opened our new corporate headquarters in Greenville,
SC, which is an investment in our clients and team members, a
testament to our continued organic growth, and a bold statement
about our future.
We work hard to create a home for the very best bankers who have an
entrepreneurial spirit and servant heart, and last year, we enhanced
our associate support through increased talent development
programs, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives, and health and
well-being enhancements.
We support our communities through investments at the company
level as well as encouraging our associates to give their time and
energy freely. In 2022, we executed a purpose-led initiative to provide
additional resources within minority communities.
We prioritize sustainability through our construction, renovation,
and purchasing standards for our offices as well as our increased
use of digital offerings in both client and associate experiences.
We are grateful for the privilege to serve clients
who trust us to provide a banking experience
focused on care and a superior level of service,
and we look forward to the next 23 years and
beyond.
R. Arthur Seaver, Jr.
Chief Executive Officer
